I think the Runescape developers probably originally envisioned Clarence the wizard's head being found in the sand (head in the sand) but then later realized if you found his head first there wouldn't really be a mystery or quest to solve since it would be obvious who it belonged to, being his head and all. So they changed it to hand but left the pun I guess.

There is no idiom "hand in the sand." Perhaps you mean "head in the sand," which is a way of saying that someone is denying the facts and refusing to face reality.
