Tomb of Horrors

The Tomb of Horrors is the name of a one-shot adventure that exists in the same world, but is not a part of the main campaign.

The demi-lich Acererak resurfaced, and the Circle of Eight had reason to believe he was in possession of the Hand of Vecna. A small group of adventurers and hirelings were sent to retrieve the artifact. Through the sacrifice of 15 hirelings, the player characters made their way to the true treasure room where the hand was kept. As the demi-lich formed, the party made their escape on Liz's magic carpet. Once outside they were attacked by Lokesh the Vampire Lord. Thinking quickly, to keep the artifact from falling into destructive forces, Benny the bard cut off his own hand and attached the Hand of Vecna to his arm. As Liz and Warden Haserot held and distracted Lokesh, Benny and Yzzert made their escape with the hand, insuring its safe keeping in the hands of the Circle of Eight.
