Bag of Other People's Stuff

A normal bag lets you hold stuff. A bag of holding lets you hold more stuff. This bag lets you hold someone else's stuff.

An ordinary looking small leather bag. It might hold a Big Mac, were they available at the time.

Magical Properties:

If the character feels around in the bag, they can find a pinch of black dust. If this dust is placed on an item, the item can find it's way into the bag after the command word (usually 'poit') is spoken.
If the bag is more than 10 feet from the item, it will not work. Items larger than the bag disappear from where they are as they are drawn through the bag. The mouth of the bag only has a 6 inch diameter opening and does not stretch to accomodate larger items. If someone or something grabs the remaining bit of item before it dissappears, a tug of war ensues, and one side could drag the other through the bag's opening, assuming they could fit.

Rare mark

Hall of Honour

for Bag of Other People's Stuff

The Hall of Honour is your mark on a submission you believe is frick’n awesome — so good you would jump in front of a dragon’s breath to protect the scroll it is written on.

Bestowing HoH also highlights it on the front of the Citadel for about a day, so others see the recognition it earned.

You may bestow HoH on the same submission up to your level (with a short wait between strikes). Five distinct HoH voters raise a work to Golden.

    Is there a size limit, or could a surreptitious handshake transfer the dust to a potential kidnapping victim, who then disappears into the bag?

    Heh-heh-heh. Good idea.

    Provided the kidnapping victim can fit through a 6 inch opening, yes. On the other hand, you could just give somebody a handshake, then later pull their arm in and chain it to a wall and hold their arm ransom. You could poke it and stuff to remind them you've got it too.

    'Hey! Stop that!'

    'Not until you pay the ransom for your arm, elf!'

    I would make stealing rings and bracers easy.

    Actually pick pockets would love this thing. You spread the dust on the catch and your 'bag man' has the item. You, the pickpocket gets nicked by the Watch or the Mark and they can't prove a thing beause you don't have it on you.

    could you use it to bring about the end of all things? I dunno put some dust on the kings scepter and leave the bag in another palace? make it look like royalty are theives?

    Alternate command word - 'Yoink!' :)
