Beware the Bagman
The Bagman is an urban legend about an adventurer who sought to escape doom by abandoning his party and hiding inside a bag of holding. When he tried to leave, though, he became lost amid a constantly increasing number of extradimensional storage spaces. Over time, the strange forces of this magical in-between place transformed the adventurer into a monstrous creature. Now, every night, the Bagman slips out from a random bag of holding. If he doesn’t find his home, he drags someone back into the bag with him and leaves behind some trinket from his hidden kingdom of lost junk.
Some say that if you speak too loudly over an open bag of holding or whisper “follow my voice” into a magical storage space three times, the Bagman will come for you.
So you are feeling brave and want to see if the legend of the Bagman is real?
DC 10 History
While there is no way of predicting where or when the Bagman will appear, the legends speak of two ways to get his attention.
First, speaking too loudly near an open Bag of Holding might get his attention.
But if you really (and I mean REALLY) want to test the legends, you can try the second way.
Open your Bag of Holding (or any magical storage space) and whisper his name thrice. As the legend goes, the Bagman will come for you.
DC 15 History
Any character might know the story of the Bagman. (DC 15 History To see if PC know) What the Bagman is and how you use this urban legend is up to you. Is there truly a Bagman, or is he just a story? If an object vanishes overnight or if someone finds something that isn’t theirs in a bag of holding, is the Bagman to blame? Is the Bagman just a monster that preys on adventurers, or is he the Darklord of his own hidden domain?
Bagman Nursery Rhyme
Close the bag
Close the bag
Close it up tight
Cause if not he will come at night
He comes when you’re sleeping
He will give you a fright
Beware of the bag
He steals in the night
Think that you’re brave
Think that you’re nice
Just open the bag
And say his name thrice
For the third time you speak it
He will come
And will snatch you away
Leaving not but a crumb
