Description
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.
Any character might know the story of the Bagman. 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? The possibilities for horror adventures are endless, and nowhere—especially not adventurers' gear—is safe.
Lair and Lair Actions
The Domain of the Bagman, bag, is a seemingly endless labyrinth of junk. Ranging from grand canyons of destroyed furniture, lakes of magical elixirs long discarded, and hallways lined with thousands of forgotten portraits. In the very center of this depraved kingdom is a cavern of gold, jewelry, gems, and trinkets both mundane and magical. Here the Bagman rests and waits to search for its home once more.
Lair Actions
When fighting inside its lair, The Bagman can invoke the ambient magic to take lair actions. On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the Bagman takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects:
- The Bagman casts phantasmal force (no components required) on any number of creatures it can see within 60 feet of it. While maintaining concentration on this effect, the Bagman can’t take other lair actions. If a target succeeds on the saving throw or if the effect ends for it, the target is immune to the Bagman's phantasmal force lair action for the next 24 hours, although such a creature can choose to be affected.
- The Bagman summons 2d4 undead creatures to fight for it. These creatures can be skeletons, zombies, boneless, or ghosts at the DMs discretion.
- The Bagman chooses a 10-foot-square area on the ground that it can see within 120 feet of it. The ground in that area turns into 3-foot-deep slime. Each creature on the ground in that area when the slime appears must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or sink into the mud and become restrained. A creature can take an action to attempt a DC 15 Strength check, freeing itself or another creature within its reach and ending the restrained condition on a success. Moving 1 foot in the mud costs 2 feet of movement. On initiative count 20 on the next round, the slime crystalizes, and the Strength DC to work free increases to 20.
Regional Effects
The region of bag is warped by the Bagman's presence, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- Monsters in the tomb have advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened, and against features that turn undead.
- Creatures that sleep within bag must make a DC 15 Wisdom save or be plagued with nightmares revolving around loneliness.
- Non-Undead creatures that die in bag will rise again as a random undead creature 24 hours after their death. These undead serve the Bagman, and the Bagman sees these creatures as family.
