"Hey you! Are you tired of slogging through muddy and bloody battlefields pushing or dragging that big ugly Ballista for miles just to be yelled at by some know it all siege commander for not moving fast enough!? Well so am I! That's why I in partnership with Wolfe and Error R&D created the Ballista in a Bag! No longer do you have to drag that big ugly bolt thrower behind you as the sun beats down on your aching body! Now its as simple as taking off our ergonomically designed leather and Fur rucksack, placing it on the ground and speaking the command word! Before you know it BOOM! You have a top of the line perfectly tuned and beautifully designed Siege ready Ballista waiting to be used!"
Closed: when closed and packed the Ballista in a Bag is a somewhat fashionable leather and fur backpack that fits comfortably on most medium creatures. Adjustable straps means it can fit even the tiniest of adventures or the largest of soldiers. The bag never weighs more than 5 pounds and can be used as a normal bag capable of holding 30 pounds of equipment.
Active: As a bonus action the bag can be placed on the ground and the command phrase can be spoken to activate the Ballista.
