A magical backpack of this sort appears quite ordinary -- well-made and well-used.
It is of finely tanned leather,
and the straps have brass hardware and buckles .
There are two side pouches,
each of which appears large enough to hold a quart <convert &
link> of material,
but each is similar to a bag
of holding and will actually contain material equal to 2 cubic feet
in volume or 20 pounds in weight.
The large central portion of the pack can contain up to 8 cubic feet
or 80 pounds of material --
and the pack has an even greater dweomer.
When the wearer reaches into one of its parts for a specific item,
that item will be on top of whatever else mightr be whatever else might
be in the same part of the pack.
Thus,
no digging and fumbling around is ever necessary to find what the Haversack
keeps safe.
Because of the dweomer, Heward's Handy Haversack and whatever
it contains gain +2 on saving throws for any reason.
The two glolems, Trove and
Clockwork, are particularly interesting, the former sort of like the one
that Fritz Leiber wrote about, the one made of cloth and paper left by
the writer-protagonist in his apartment., whilst the second calls to mind
my cousin, immortalized as Heward, who
was a prodegy that took apart and repaired a pocket watch at age five.

But I might use Heward instead of McGT.
Although, I wonder if Heward is familiar enough with the Mors/Zagyg to
fall for his trickery, but if the conclusion, as written, is achieved,
the hero-bard's reaction is amiable enough.

Heward is a less combatative
sort, rather more of a putterer and tinkerer with things extraordinary...and
quite forgetful as well.
If marooned as McGregtim
was Heward would be too bust making unusual items to long notice his isolation
