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.

Dina Walker suggests you don't wear the helmet until you have it inspected by a wizard. Frederick Winter says a wizard will just try to take it, might as well wear it.

The Book of Many Stories

A thick tome is found deep in a dungeon. The pages are blank unless only one person is looking at them. Then it appears to tell a story which may have more to do with reality, than fiction.

Nathaniel Kastrix has heard of the book, and warns that no one should read it.
