The Head of Vecna: Difference between revisions

{{Workstub}}

{{Needs More Tropes}}

 

Two of the best-known<ref>on this side of the fourth wall at least</ref> artifacts in [[Dungeons & Dragons]] are the Eye of Vecna and the Hand of Vecna. These were the remaining body parts of the Maimed God<ref>Vecna, not Tyr</ref> after the betrayal of his most trusted lieutenant, Kas. In order to make use of the Hand of Vecna, a character must be touch it to the stump on his left arm where his missing left hand would be. The Eye of Vecna is less picky, either empty eye socket will do. In either case, you get some of Vecna's powers (at a price). Now imagine what powers a larger body part would grant... and ignore the obvious problems you'd have after decapitation. So many of the people in the tale did.

* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]: "'''''SO THEY DID IT AGAIN'''''!"

* [[Laugh Themselves Sick]]: While the DM was able to hold his laughter remarkably well until {{spoiler|the second person in group two was decapitated}}, it didn't stop the pain.

* [[Player Versus Player]]: Group One versus Group Two.

* [[Schmuck Bait]]: The Head itself. It worked.

* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: The Druid from Group One and the characters in Group Two.

* [[What an Idiot!]]: The player playing the Druid from Group One and all of the players in Group Two.
