==Additional Information==
===Bag===
The bag will consume any item inside when it is {{boldmono|LOCK}}ed and {{boldmono|RUB}}bed. For every 20 or so items it consumes, it produces a piece of random lint (for example: a piece of smelly gold lint, a piece of soft grey lint, etc.)


The bag won't consume the lint it creates, so it can be used to hold the lint and mass produce it.
It does a lot more than that. If you weren't just pretending to be smart, you'd know this.
===Lint===

====Show====
Beltworn, holds 170, lockable by [[TURN (verb)|TURN]]ing it while closed.
The lint that is produced by the bag has a show that will change with the use of {{boldmono|POKE}}.

''Example:
Hold it in your hand and [[WAVE (verb)|WAVE]] it and it will auto-hide you in any room, even rooms that can't normally be hidden in, with a really nifty first and third person script.
<pre{{log2}}>

It could be a green tambourine...or possibly a bowl.
Will eat any item(s) inside the bag if [[RUB (verb)|RUB]]bed while locked. For every 20 or so items it eats, it produces a piece of randomly described lint (a piece of smelly gold lint, a piece of soft grey lint, etc.) that when LOOKed at, would tell you random stuff that it looks like, such as "It looks like an albatross, or perhaps a doorknob." If you wanted to mass produce lint, just have it keep eating stuff until there were 20 pieces of lint inside, then every time you rub it it'll produce a new piece of lint, since the lint is the only item that won't get eaten by the bag,
</pre>

At some point the lint will cease to be manipulatable and will look like:
When you [[POKE (verb)|POKE]] the lint, the random shapes that it "looks like" would change.
<pre{{log2}}>

It could be anything, really. At this point though, it mostly resembles a green blob of lint.
The only way it would be useful in hunting is if you're an ambusher that either doesn't need a [[shield]] in their left hand or doesn't need it empty, which pretty much rules everybody out.

Was still the most fun item I've ever owned. Then I went and traded it for a cross-realm teleport staff that I got bored with, then I said fuck it and liquidated everything after Krovax sold it to Tsin. Tsin tried to sell it on the officials as THE ULTIMATE AMBUSHER'S DREAM ITEM, then got pissed off at me and cried forever because I wouldn't delete the post informing everyone of how Tsin is full of shit and that it's overall useless for hunting.

RUB Your hand glides over the surface of a brown paper bag in a graceful mystical pattern.

XXX's hand glides over the surface of a brown paper bag in a graceful mystical pattern.

The bag pulses rhythmically with a soft inner light. A foul-smelling cloud of black smoke appears momentarily, then vanishes without a trace.

WAVE With great flair, you pull the bag over your head for a moment...

It seems you have died my friend...

You hear Lorminstra chuckling and she appears in a vision to you. Her placid face is twisted in laughter as she looks deep into your eyes and says, "Not this time, back you go!"

Immediately, the area is filled with a cloud of purple smoke. When it clears, you have slipped into hiding! What a great illusion!
Suddenly and with great flair XXX pulls his bag over his head!
