Welcome to the Sixteenth night of Dice-ember and I have a gift for you, one of the leavings of the mischief makers to be exact. Now these artefacts aren’t overly powerful overtly, but with the right use and a bit of luck these things could be something truly remarkable for the party to have. But let’s not waste any time talking about it here when we could be looking at it below!
So sit back, grab a seasonal beverage and let’s roll into the holiday season!

Bag of Lesser Animus
The bag of Lesser Animus is an interesting wondrous item. Able to turn a small wooden carving that was found inside its bag into a construct of the same tiny (Miniscule) size. The carving-creature has the same stats and abilities and limitations as found on the stat block.
Sticking to a bit of the “12 Days of Christmas” it can hold up to 12 creatures but is normally found with 7. If you pay the bag it will make an additional or replacement carving for you and if you bribe it with snacks (Rations) it will even take commissions and make something of your request (within exception). Each carving-creature can also have commands or orders given to them up to 12 words (12 days again) so they cant be complex but its better than a small phrase. 1 or two sentences will suffice. But like the creatures and most other constructs – they don’t talk.
Some examples of the Carving-Creatures can be found below but these are just the ones that I found in D&D Beyond (links included!).

Thanks for visiting tonight. Hope you find a use for the Bag of Lesser Animus and are inspired to make the greater versions of this bag too. Don’t forget that we are a bit over half way there now for the Dice-ember adventure which means we still more days to come! So don’t forget to come back this week to find out what lies in store. And, as always, don’t forget to roll with advantage,
