Magic Item Help

[Robert Edwards]

Hail and well met all,
Thank you for responding to my last post, I appreciated the input (whoever you all were).

I've got a situation that has come up in a game I'm playing, where my character (rogue) was cleverly trapped inside a portable hole by a rather insiduous DM. To make matters worse, the evil DM never resolved what happened to me. We broke for the night, and he said 'we'll take care of it next time."

So I'm in a bit of a spot.

What I want to know is, can I attempt to rip, or cut the fabric before the air runs out? And if I do, what happens then? Am I stuck on the astral plane? What about the other contents of the hole? If the integrity of the fabric is breached, will it suck everything in within 10', or just me and the contents of the hole?

Or am I basically dead?

EEEK!

I don't want to die, but the prospect of wandering the astral alone with all the loot from the hole doesn't thrill me either.

Thanks for the input!

Robbie

The hole is an extra-dimensional space. There is no fabric for you to rip. You are at the mercy of the possesser of the hole.

Also, tell me you don't have a bag of holding with you.

Ya, what you are inside is a pocket dimesnion for lack of a better term. Unless you cvan rip the fabric of reality, you are in a pickle. If you have a bag of holding with you, that pickle is much, much bigger. Metaphorically speaking of course.

I wouldn't say he's in a bigger pickle. If it's a choice between being suffocated in 10 minutes (20 if his character is small) and ending up on the Astral plane, then I'd go for the latter any day.

So, Robbie, what's in the Hole with you? Your DM wouldn't have left a necklace of Adaptation in there by mistake, would he? (Hope springs eternal...)

 

[Psyduck]

Of course! Use the ring of 3 wishes. I'd wish to have 3 more rings of 3 wishes, and repeat. If your DM doesn't try and warp the wording, then you have your rings. Otherwise, you are wisked out of the hole to where the rings are. There is no bad concequence there

 

[JRScott]

I'd start looking for anything in the hole. Maybe he's left something useful...like the necklace of adaptation, or an iridescent spindle Ioun stone, or maybe an amulet of the planes, or maybe a staff of passage, or a scroll with something useful on it...you do have Use Magic Device don't you?
Other than that have your revenge, just start destroying everything in the hole...at least they won't have it anymore .

 

[Robert Edwards]

Yeah, I figure there's some way out, probably a necklace of adaptation. i don't think he'd be that cruel to wait a week and kill me, when I could be using the time to write up a new character. Who know's, maybe it's actually a "portable watering hole", and I'll find a fully stocked bar inside with a hospitable wait staff...That would be cool.

Out of curiousity though, what happens if I use a scroll of Rope Trick? I think I know, what: (Insert special FX noise), but I want to see the general opinion.

 

[Crothian]

You'll spill out into the Astral plane I believe.

Ah, you mean this thing.
