When Wesley challenges Humperdink to the pain, what body part does he say he’ll allow him to keep?

His ears

“To the pain means this: if we duel and you win, death for me. If we duel and I win, life for you. But life on my terms. The first thing you lose will be your feet. Below the ankle. You will have stumps available to use within six months. Then your hands, at the wrists. They heal somewhat quicker. Five months is a fair average. Next your nose. No smell of dawn for you. Followed by your tongue. Deeply cut away. Not even a stump left. And then your left eye—" 

“And then my right eye, and then my ears, and shall we get on with it?" the Prince said. 

“Wrong!" Westley’s voice rang across the room. "Your ears you keep, so that every shriek of every child shall be yours to cherish—every babe that weeps in fear at your approach, every woman that cries 'Dear God, what is that thing?' will reverberate forever with your perfect ears.”

What are the three artifact-tier magical weapons that appeared in the AD&D module “S2: White Plum Mountain”?

Black Razor: Blackrazor takes the form of a greatsword with a jet-black blade, sometimes described as being filled with star-like glimmers of light. It is a soul-eating blade driven by an incessant hunger for the lives of others, which compels its bearer to hunt and slay people.

Wave: Wave was an intelligent True Neutral trident, determined to convert everybody to worship Poseidon. It had the combined powers of a Trident Of Fish Commanding and a Trident of Warning, possessed the ability to find water, granted its bearer the ability to breath water and act underwater, could function as a Cube of Force, and one final power: Dehydrate. On a to-hit roll of 20, it sucked vital fluids from the victim's body, causing them to take first the initial damage, and then to halve their remaining hit points.

Whelm:  Whelm is an intelligent +3 hammer (+5 hammer for dwarves) whose driving purpose is to slay all of the monstrous enemies of dwarfdom: trolls, giants, and goblinoids. Whelm can detect the presence of gold, gems and goblins, and has the powers of a Hammer of Stunning (1/day, pound the ground to create a 60ft shockwave that forces up to 45 hit points worth of enemies to save vs. spell or be stunned for 1d4 rounds). Additionally, a dwarf wielder can throw the hammer 150 feet as a ranged attack 3/day, with it returning each time it is thrown. However, it bears a minor curse and inflicts severe agoraphobia on the bearer, causing them to take a -2 penalty when not fighting in an enclosed space or at night.
