Living in a Bag of Holding
So recently my pair of Gnomes have come into ownership of a Bag of Holding and a Bottle of Air (the Wondrous Item, not a empty bottle) and have come up with an 'insane' idea. Now, to my knowledge, a Bag of Holding only has like 10-15min of air inside. IF they were to, say, open the Bottle of Air INSIDE the Bag of Holding, could they remain inside indefinitely? They're wanting to basically turn it into an extra-dimensional tent. I've heard the idea of smuggling people in Bags of Holding before, but these guys kinda have a 'plausible' plan. From what I've read about the Bottle of Air, it doesn't fill a room, since it's only example is a vacuum. Now, the Bag of Holding is a Mk. 2, with 70 cubic foot 'space.' If I've been presented the math right, that works out to roughly a 4.1ft cubic root, which means each "side" (if you think of it like a box and not a bag) is roughly that size. The Gnomes in question are only 3ft tall, 1ft wide based on a 6ft tall human having 2 ft wide shoulders, so they SHOULD fit inside akin to it being a giant sleeping bag with some room leftover.
I'll be honest, I'm dumbfounded the amount of info these guys put into their "presentation." Their IC argument is since one has Knowledge Engineer +12 bonus, he'd be the one to understand the spacial issue. But I thought I'd ask other DMs this before I approve or deny it. I can see an adventure hook in this, but I also don't want them to think they can get away with heavy rule-bending.
