Demonstone
Knowing my players standard actions, they will grab the detect the demonstone as "magic", throw it in a Bag of Holding and Identify it later. Ygdal carries the Bag, his cohort will Identify it.
Now, will the Demonstone consider Ygdal the posesser while it is in the Bag of Holding, giving a +1 luck bonus and forcing a Will save? If it hasn't taken Ygdal by the time the wizard spends 8 hours Identifying it, will he become the posesser during that time? (Firre is very dead in my campaign, BTW.)

Re: Demonstone
I'd say he's safe while it's in a Bag of Holding. If you're using 3.0 (Identify doesn't take 8 hours any more), then the nameless wizard cohort will probably get tagged.

Re: Demonstone
IIRC, the demonstone takes at least 24 hours to 'attach' to a new host. Even if it doesn't say that, I think that's still a good rule of thumb. In other words, wait until someone possesses it for a full day outside the bag of holding. Also note that identify will not reveal anything besides the luckstone powers (you probably already knew this, but just stating the obvious). Even analyze dweomer will not reveal the curse as the item is technically an artifact. My players in fact used analyze dweomer and the spell was rejected, at least eliciting more information than identify in showing that this item held more power than a normal luckstone.
PS Don't forget the whispers (if it's a player).

Identify
The whispers and the ID spell results I was ready for...thanks for the advice on the Bag of Holding.
