The one time that it happened I was able to succesfully get his hand
back and dispose of the foul sorceror. I don't recall the details of
the event very well, but I think I sent a leader high in magic, and
if I had a chance I probably made a big sacrifice to Urox before
going.
My suspicion is that perhaps it only happens if you don't have a
shrine to Urox? I usually put off exploring Snake Pipe Hollow until
late in the game, when I can either send a very powerful leader or
someone I hope to get rid of, so by then I usually have a shrine to
Urox with Sense Chaos, and for that matter I often sacrifice for
Smite Chaos before sending off the explorers. The one time the event
happened to me I think it was early in the game, and I may not have
had that shrine in place.
In other words, I don't know that the Urox shrine is the key, it
could be something totally different, but it might be something to
keep in mind.
