[QUOTE="rushlight, post: 3531518, member: 3801"] As a DM, I usually don't bother too much with details like this, unless it makes for good story-telling. Once, my players (mid-to-high levels) fought a flying creature that lived at the bottom of a hole in the ground. As a level of protection, the hole went straight down 25ft, then turned into a side passage. On the floor at the bottom of the hole he placed an open Portable Hole. His theory was that anyone foolish enough to jump in after him would land in the hole, and he could easily pick it up and deal with them at a later time (if he chose to open it at all!) Well, players chase monster, monster jumps in his hole, and one player just decides to jump right in after him! As he falls into the darkness, it occurs to me, and I ask: "So, what are you carrying with you?" The player's response: "Well, all my stuff I guess." "In your Bag of Holding I assume?" "Uh, yeah..." Well, right as the player fell into the Portable Hole *BANG* the player has ripped the fabric of Space! He saw a bright, blinding flash, and when his eyes refocus, he found himself floating in an ambient-lit space, open in all directions - with all the stuff that was in his Bag of Holding floating off in all directions around him. Basically, he ended up on the Astral Plane. Of course, the Hole and his Bag were destroyed, and all his stuff was floating away. >:) But, he was alive, and it didn't take him long (after avoiding a pack of Demons roaming around) to find his way home. It was an interesting mini-story, so that's why I did it. Otherwise, I'd just ignore all that stuff and keep the action going! rushl [/QUOTE]
