Someone asked if these defend against Ithzir stealing your stuff. It seems somewhat unlikely, but I did a test. tl;dr: results were inconclusive, but it still seems unlikely that the bag matters against ithzir.

You are currently wearing:
Attached to your belt:
an off-white cotton sack (functional)
a knotted oilcloth bag (functional)

(2 items displayed.)

>look in my sack
In the cotton sack you see a dragonfire emerald, a white opal, a white opal, a white opal, a green sapphire, a green sapphire and a green sapphire.

Yep, that's all I was wearing. Let's go to OTF!
[...]
It seems you have died, my friend. Although you cannot do anything, you are keenly aware of what is going on around you...
[...]
An Ithzir adept rifles through your gear! Somebody call a constable!

The adept didn't actually take anything - same items in inventory after I departed and checked. But there was no evidence that the bag made any difference in that.

Compare to a player character stealing from my dead corpse:

With bag:
HelpfulVolunteer moves his hand out away from himself.
Without bag:
You notice HelpfulVolunteer reach into your pockets and remove nothing.
You turn quickly and grab HelpfulVolunteer's wrist, but he had nothing in his hand.

You notice HelpfulVolunteer reach into your cotton sack and remove a white opal!

Since the messaging is different between player pickpocket and ithzir corpse looting, it seems they are different systems. Since Wyrom said nothing about preventing creatures from looting you when he auctioned it, and since there's no messaging to suggest it mattered, it seems quite unlikely that the bag helps with creatures.

Last call - going sold tonight if no other bids.
