So, let me start from my last game. We closed with our party's Paladin finding (and accidentally activating) a cursed longsword that he cannot let go of. Aside from the implications of that, the sword constantly talks...LOUDLY!! Thus, the stealth has been basically ruined for the entire party (level 3).
Flash forward to this evening's game, and our Paladin player is unable to attend and I wound up running his character per his request...and he rolled very poorly, missing everything he tried to hit but remained unscathed. After defeating the encounter, our Bard persuaded our Paladin to let him wrap and tie off the sword (and the paladins primary arm from the elbow down) into his Bag of Holding in an attempt to muzzle the sword, which is howling violently that it is afraid of the dark. Fortunately, that was where our session ended.
QUESTION: Would the effects of a Bag of Holding mute the sounds coming from the sword?
I look forward to your responses, because I am at a loss as to how effective this would be...especially since there is a boss encounter in the very next room.
Did you try to find a ribbon of silence? [ you know, a strand of fabric that has the silence spell imbued upon it, and tie it around the swords handle? ]

Nope, and none of the players has a silence spell.
Actually, I just realized that I posted this in the wrong forum. Reposting under the DM section.
