Courier Satchel

These lesser known items have found themselves useful to traders, diplomats, thieves, and mercenaries all across the Flanaess; but they are most popular in the exotic intrigues that surround the Baklunish courts of the west. A stout leather satchel, 20" x 12" x 6", with a broad flap that ties securely to its base and a long thick leather strap to sling it across your shoulder; this well made, if unassuming, item works a very special magic on its contents though. In its natural state it operates just like bag of holding. However, when a specific command word is spoken all magic within the satchel stops working. It becomes nothing more than a common bag radiating no magical aura. While it is "turned off" the extradimensional space that stores all items previously put into the bag cannot be accessed. Anything put inside during inside must be carried and held just like it would be in a normal sack.

Courier satchels work much like the smallest size bag of holding and can carry the same amount (250 lb. / 30 cu. ft.) but wheighs only 5 lb. If a courier satchel is placed in a bag of holding or portable hole the satchel is lost along with all items stored within the bag or hole and the remaining item loses all magical properties. If a bag of holding or portable hole is placed inside the courier satchel an explosive rift occurs. Whoever is within 10 feet of the satchel is drawn into the astral plane and all from 10 feet to 30 feet take 5d6 fire damage. When the satchel is "turned off" the items can be freely placed inside one another with no danger of mishap.
