UPPER DUNGEONS LEVEL 3A SALT MERE 87L BRIG.

87L BRIG. This room holds five cells. Four dread skulls are here, including one officer.

Hook Hand Yakko, Chaotic Evil male dread skull Pirate (AC 7; MV 12”; F5; hp 26; #AT 1; D See below; SD Sharp weapons score half damage only, limited spell immunity; XP 381)

Hook Hand Yakko is missing his left hand. He uses prosthetic hooks instead, of which he has five. One is on his wrist the other four hang from his belt. He is so proficient at changing his hooks that he can attack with a different hook each round if he so chooses.

Hook	Description	XP Value	GP Value
Silver Hook	1-6 damage can be used against monsters only hit by silver or +1 weapons	450	2000
Red Hook	1d6+3 heat damage, gives light as a torch when hooked in	-	200
Spinning Hook	2d6 damage, works like a food processor	-	100
Spyglass Hook	Works like a single cusp of eyes of the eagle	1750	9000
Grappling Hook	Has thirty feet of rope, if aimed at a person it does 1d6+1 damage (short = 1”, medium = 2”, long = 3”), can be reeled back in	-	200

A person who cuts off their hand and who practices can master the use of the hooks and use them just like Hook Hand Yakko does (because they are magic). The amount of time required is 20 months less 1 month for each point of dexterity. Any one doing this is then unable to use two handed weapons, including bows.
