Where your missing socks go

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

They're stolen, of course, by the Ethereal Filcher.

The question, though, is why ...

"The maid comes screaming into the inn from the shack out back, babbling something about a monster. When you look out back, you spot a strange looking creature with a single foot and a pair of hands as long as its leg. It's clutching twin fistfuls of socks as it vanishes from sight."

Obviously he is a paranoid and demented wizard, who steals other's socks so he can scry them more easely: this way he will know when they seek him to retrieve their socks.

Wow, that's really a practical idea

It sure beats my ethereal magpie line of thinking.

Our DM created a demiplane, accessible only from the prison plane of Carceri, where all misplaced items go. The place was full of left socks.

We had to go there because an artifact had been misplaced. Probably in some wizard's cushions.

 

[Squire James]

Obviously it only needs one sock, so...

 

[Dark Psion]

He is looking for the One Sock to rule them all!!!!!

Sock gnomes take my socks. They are allied with the chapstick gnomes.

I've never lost a sock, but I once came back from a laundromat with a shirt to find someone had hastily written "you." on the inside with white paint.

Try to explain that one.
