The Bag Man

In hushed tones, adventurers and collectors of urban legends tell the tale of the Bagman.   Long ago, an adventurer sought to escape certain death by abandoning his party and crawling into a Bag of Holding. While this is generally not a good idea to begin with, the adventurer was desperate and you know what they say about desperate times calling for desperate measures. Upon trying to escape the Bag of Holding, the adventurer’s efforts were useless. Floating in the extradimensional void, he only found a never-ending amount of storage spaces. With no clear escape from his prison, the adventurer continued looking for any way out that he could find. But the strange magical forces within this extradimensional space began to take their toll on the adventurer… His body stretched and warped. His skin grayed, his nails grew sharp and blackened, and his limbs grew stretched and gangly. The adventurer was no longer himself… This tall, sickly creature would come to be known as the BagMan.   To this day, the Bagman continues to try to find his way back home. Every single night, he emerges from a random Bag of Holding in hopes to make his return. If he does not recognize this as his home, he will pull someone near the bag into it never to be heard from again. In their place, he leaves a small piece of junk from his collection in the extradimensional space that he inhabits.   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 “follow my voice” into it three times. As the legend goes, the BagMan will come for you.
