Description
The Bagman is an urban legend, popular among travelers that carry bags of holding with them. Supposedly, the Bagman was once an adventurer that sought to escape certain death by hiding inside a bag of holding, upon trying to leave he became lost in the space between spaces that all bags of holding lead to. Each night the Bagman reaches out of a random bag of holding in an attempt to find his home, if he cannot find it he will take a creature which it replaces with an object from a random bag of holding, the better food the bagman is provided the better the item that it leaves. The Bagman will hunt creatures down by casting silence in the area around a bag of holding and then by capturing a creature and suffocating it inside of the bag of holding where it will consume their corpse. It is unknown if there is only one or multiple Bagmen, or even if there are any at all but many scholars reject the idea of Bagmen existing. Some say that if you speak too loudly over an open bag of holding or say "follow my voice" three times into a magical storage space the bagman will come for you. If an item appears or disappears from your bag of holding overnight is the bagman to blame?
What makes the bagman so dangerous is that usually it is only faced by one adventurer at a time, and it can almost completely incapacitate any adventurer within two rounds of combat while still being especially effective against spellcaster that need vocal components for their spells. It is the perfect narrative tool if a player wishes to have a new character and also useful if you want to give the party a magic item for whatever reason. It is also useful to remember that breathing creatures can survive in a bag of holding up to 10 divided by the number of creatures (minimum of one minute) so a quick acting party may be able to save someone that has been taken if they act within ten minutes.
The bagman's preferred method of attack is to cast silence while all characters are sleeping, then to grapple and abduct an adventurer before slipping away and waiting for it to suffocate in the space between spaces.
