I think he'll look pretty silly arriving in Hell without a sword. :-) You should kill the sword so you can take it to Hell with you. Otherwise, Humakt's armourer will give your character new weapons when they arrive.
You might not just wake up in Hell, either. Is there a psychopomp for Humakti? You might have quite a trek ahead of you.
Speculation: Humakt's psychopomp is Eurmal, who guided Humakt to the place where Death lay hidden & guarded by Vivamort. Compare to Orlanthi. Their psychopomp is Issaries, who guided Orlanth to Hell on the LBQ.
What an anti-climax. You die, & the Trickster is waiting for you.
