This soot-stained satchel is embroidered with tiny silver runes that shimmer like fireflies when dusk falls. When it’s left behind, it becomes impossible to ignore.
While attuned to the Bag of the Beacon, you can use it as a normal pouch or small bag (it can hold up to 2 cubic feet of goods and up to 40 pounds without tearing).
When the bag is not being worn or carried, it automatically activates and projects a 3-foot-wide pillar of illusionary, scintillating light straight upward to a height of 250 feet, accompanied by a loud crackling bonfire sound.
- The beacon is visible through normal darkness, fog, and rain, but it does not illuminate anything or create heat (it’s purely illusion).
- The crackling can be heard out to 300 feet (or farther at the DM’s discretion in open terrain).
- A creature that uses its action to examine the beacon can determine it is an illusion with a successful DC 13 Intelligence (Investigation) check.
The beacon lasts for 1 hour, then fades. Once the beacon ends, the bag can’t project another beacon until after you finish a Short Rest.
If the bag is placed on stone, the “bonfire” crackle sounds like it’s inside a chimney. If placed on sand, it sounds like dry brush popping.
Notes: 1 hour concentration.
