haunted luggage

In tonight's home game we return to the orbital, i expect it will take them a few minutes to find the luggage area of the space port terminal which is surprisingly empty except for this




carefully stacked jenga stack of luggage, use trunks or chests in your fantasy game

many things could happen should the players choose to pull one out.  at least half will be empty, 1d4 of them will be trapped, 1 will be full of somethings treasure (anything from an eyeball collection to 27 pounds of semiworthless 1cp gems) and 1d3 of them will be haunted and there most likely gonna fall (dex check)

origins: haunted luggage always has had a previous owner who was well traveled and died violently in their travel clutching this very bag or case. the spirit of the deceased wishes to keep traveling even though it is embedded in the bag  

not trapped, not locked, please make a fear check just to open it, you have a bad feeling, you just cant shake it. once you do decide to open it and pass the save whatever it does or has in it happens (see chart below) and it the haunting happens, the luggage adopts you as its traveler.

 if you choose to take the bag with you and use it nothing odd happens except you will get another random roll once per game session/day of opening the bag, you will still have to make a fear check to open the bag. in fantasy games it will detect magic and cursed, minor. each time you do this there is a chance the spirit will have faded out of the bag making it just old and mundane, cumulative chance increases every three times opened 

if you just take whats in the bag, if it is a physical object and toss the bag aside, the bag will still adopt you and will appear the next morning on a 3in 6 chance, right next to your other bag or pack.  your mundane bag or pack might have (2 in 6 chance) chew marks or rips in it mysteriously, making it useless unless repaired and here is this handy strange bag that keeps appearing if it does, how convenient. if you keep tossing it aside after 3 times it will get the hint and go away, if it is stolen or sold, it will bond with its new owner 5 in 6 times if they make a fear check to open it.

the bag dosent hold anymore than a normal bag or case of its type and will take normal damage
