12-10-06, 11:59 AM Why would my cleric have these in his bag of holding?

I created this character a few years ago for another player and I can't remember why I put two dead dogs in his bag.

12-10-06, 12:03 PM I'm thinking it had something to do with animate dead, maybe even other spells.

12-10-06, 12:28 PM Are you sure they were dead when you put them in?

12-10-06, 02:56 PM A little kid's pet dogs were killed while you were fighting something horrible that was invading his village. The soft-hearted cleric agreed to take the dog corpses for resurrection when he got a chance.

Optionally, the kid is now 18 years old, and his anger at the broken vow has festered and led him to become a Blackguard, and a bane of the cleric's religion.

maybe you were playing a joke trying to confuse that player

12-10-06, 03:13 PM I think it's either Animate Dead material or a joke.

12-10-06, 08:15 PM Two party members got reincarnated as dogs and later killed again - your saving them to be raised later?

12-10-06, 08:57 PM Is the cleric a cleric of Orcus, by any chance? That'd explain a lot.

Schrodinger's dogs?

12-10-06, 11:22 PM this thread quite possibly has the best title ever.

and there were probably fodder for animate dead i'd say.

Nah, these are already dead.

I'm thinking that they are obviously flesh golems being kept in reserve.

12-11-06, 12:43 AM I'm betting the rouge slipped them in there as a joke.

12-11-06, 12:43 AM I suspect you wanted to keep a couple of dogs around, and the best way to transport them around is in a bag of holding...

Then the DM realizes that the bad doesn't have enough air to keep them alive.

12-11-06, 02:56 AM Schrodinger's dogs?Only if the character's also in the habit of carrying radioactive material and little bottles of poison gas.

12-11-06, 04:11 AM Was he going to make Cold Dog Soup? Did he have a hot date, if he could aquire some, but didn't have the recipe, or necessary ranks in Craft(soup)?

12-14-06, 04:04 AM There's a particularly knee-slapping moment in Icewind Dale 2 where if you're carrying enough corpses around, you can convince a demon that you're dangerously insane and that he should merely kill you, instead of killing you and eating you. Maybe you're carrying them around in case you meet some infernal denizens?

Perhaps they were guard dogs you had killed and took the bodies to avoid them being found and giving you away.

Who doesn't?

12-16-06, 02:39 AM This thread has some totaly awesome answers. In game session tonight we blamed everything on the two dead dogs and why they were there.

All joking aside, really, I read somewhere where the two dead dogs were used as some kind of cleric tactic of some sort. I put them in the bag for the player to use the tactic. No one wanted to play the character, so now, almost 2 years later, someone wants to play the cleric (9th level).

What tactic could I have been thinking of? For the life of me, I can't remember.

Let me add:
--look on players face when he first read the character sheet and the two dead dogs in the bag of holding--
PRICELESS

12-16-06, 08:37 PM You have 2 dead dogs in the bag of holding just in case you need a spare ... duh

The real question should be "why aren't there 3 dead dogs in your bag of holding so that your friend can have one too?" are you selfish? are you one of those guys that goes off and does his own thing when the party is fighting for its life?

I'll bet you didn't even offer to carry your buddies 6 decapitated canaries in there with them did you? ... DID YOU?!!

you make me sick.
