The Helm of Slaughter

You find a beautifully crafted helmet. You put it on and after a few moments you hear a voice, "Yes... let the slaughter begin...". You are unable to remove the helmet.

Gael Payne suggests you don't wear the helmet until you have it inspected by a wizard. Helena Blackaxe says a wizard will just try to take it, might as well wear it.

The Weird Relic

You reach into your bag of holding and draw out an unfamiliar relic. It is a small doll-like figure, carved from bone. "Help me..." it cries, and small beads of water begin to drip from its carved eyes.

Finley Orsan that bag of holding is ancient, must be one of the earliest of its kind,
