Talon of the Danse Macabre (Magic Claw)

These items were created by the priests of Hoar/Assuran in Chessenta; eight pairs are known to exist, most scattered among treasure hoards across the Realms. These magical items appear to be eagle's talons, plated in a dull silver that resembles pewter. When two of them are thrown down, and the proper command word is given, they immediately attack, causing 2d4 points of damage per round for one turn before they become inactive for 24 hours. They can be stopped with the proper command word, or a successful dispel magic spell cast against 12th-level magic (which also neutralizes them for 24 hours). No weapon can touch them in combat and they appear to be indestructible.
