The Hand of the King in Yellow
Wondrous item, artifact (requires attunement)
Attunement. Cut off one of your hands at the wrist and press the artifact to the stump; it grafts on and works as your own. If it is ever removed, you die.
You can't be charmed or frightened.
Your Intelligence increases by 2 (maximum 24); your Charisma becomes 6 unless already lower; your Strength becomes 20 unless already higher.
You have disadvantage on saving throws against poison.
Melee spell attacks made with the hand, and melee weapon attacks with a weapon it holds, deal an extra 2d8 cold damage.
Rot. Over four days your body rots: hair, then fingertips and toe tips, then lips and nose, then ears. Only regenerate restores them; mechanical parts rust and corrode instead.
Any attempt to destroy it seems to work, but it reappears in a hidden place to be found again.
Olaf's gauntlet. Rebuilt with his Armorer's thunder gauntlet, it acts as a greatclub with booming blade.
A mummified, shrivelled left hand, gold-skinned and wound with grave wrappings. It is the only thing that can end The King In Yellow's contracts (see List of Contracts).
Olaf came away from campaign 2 holding it, and used it to tear up the contracts of Heishen, Glix, Glux, Karkos and the Red Bubble. He grafted it on in place of his own hand and later rebuilt it into his Armorer's thunder gauntlet.
Also known as Hand of the King in Yellow, the King in Yellow's hand, the hand of the King in Yellow.
