them to evacuate his realm as soon as possible.

After the incident caused by Class 1-Greed, all of the
students are sent back to their dormitories to rest.

that this will be their last day of class and reveal
their final grade using Appendix 1. For surviving a

HIGHER LEARNING BAG
(BAG OF HOLDING)
Wondrous Item, uncommon
This bag has an interior space considerably larger

than its outside dimensions, roughly 2 feet in
diameter at the mouth and 4 feet deep. The bag can
hold up to 500 pounds, not exceeding a volume of
64 cubic feet. The bag weighs 15 pounds, regardless
of its contents. Retrieving an item from the bag
requires an action.
If the bag is overloaded, pierced, or torn, it
ruptures and is destroyed, and its contents are
scattered in the Astral Plane. If the bag is turned
inside out, its contents spill forth, unharmed, but
the bag must be put right before it can be used
again. Breathing creatures inside the bag can
survive up to a number of minutes equal to 10
divided by the number of creatures (minimum 1
minute), after which time they begin to suffocate.
Placing a bag of holding inside an
extradimensional space created by a Heward's
handy haversack, portable hole, or similar item
instantly destroys both items and opens a gate to
the Astral Plane. The gate originates where the one
item was placed inside the other. Any creature
within 10 feet of the gate is sucked through it to a
random location on the Astral Plane. The gate then
