The NPC was able to create a special Delay Contingency that fired off an hour later (typically a Research level of magic). The NPC was (presumably) able to cast spells in a Bag of Holding. The NPC was as or more alert in the Bag of Holding than the PCs were out of it. The DM ruled that the NPC could Teleport across a dimensional space and out of the Bag of Holding (even though this is not what he ruled actually happened). When the players brought up a few rules points that were questionable, the DM still ruled in favor of the NPC.This comes under the heading of "Where there is smoke, there is fire.". When stating an opinion, I can use that to sway my position. When stating fact, I cannot.When asked for a fairness opinion, I can use whatever data I am given to come up with my opinion. So, my opinion is that this situation falls under the DM caveat of adjudicating in favor of an NPC both in the arena of knowledge of the PCs (given what little information we have on this which is that the NPC was able to do advanced atypical magical tactics) and the mechanics of how magic works, bending a few rules in the process. Such situations tend to raise red flags for me, but might not for others. YMMV.So yes, I can say that. I just happen for find more support for this aspect of my opinion than you do. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> And btw, the DM can do whatever he wants. It's his game. But, I can still give my opinion of the situation and feel quite comfortable that my opinion is perfectly valid: for me, but not necessarily for anyone else. When it comes to fairness opinions, it's a pretty open-ended spectrum.</blockquote>
