This item resembles a Bag Of Holding, but the storage plane is located in the Head Office.
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 Head Office storage room. 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 another Bag of Corporate Holding will create a gate to the Head Office. Any creature within 10 feet of the gate is sucked through it to the storage room of the Head Office. The gate then closes. The gate is one-way only and can't be reopened.
Note: Reserve this role for a voluntary player in a party with an uneven number of players or for one-shot players.
