Great PnP stories, Indemaijini!

I haven't played PnP in about 15 years, but I did hear one famous story making the rounds:

An adventuring party had one of their members accused of some terrible crime and placed in a high-security prison. The rest of the party was able to get to the door of his cell and speak to him, but they couldn't get him out: Whoever had designed the prison had rightly anticipated the chance of breakouts, so there was no way the party could have picked the lock, used Knock to blast it open, or summon a beastie powerful enough to break the door down. (Perhaps it was even a dead-magic zone.)

What they did instead was far more classic: The door had a narrow slot in the bottom, just big enough to slide in a tray for food. A Pixie might have fit through, but certainly not the guy they were trying to rescue. So......they slipped most of their Bag of Holding though the slot, keeping a firm grip on the part of the Bag that remained outside the cell. Their incarcerated party member happily climbed inside the Bag and closed it, and was pulled, safe and sound, through the slot to freedom. (Good thing it wasn't a Bag of Devouring!)
