He discussed it with Matt beforehand, and Matt allowed him to do it. It's not "hijacking the story" if it was confirmed with the DM beforehand, that's just part of the story. If Matt didn't want that to happen, wanted Vox Machina to have/destroy the hand, etc, he wouldn't have allowed it. It was a cool narrative moment that made sense, left a cool cliffhanger that could lead to something in the next campaign, and let his character have an impact. Cool off.
