Purpose

To conceal and transport stolen provisions within Irongron's armory before discovery.

Significance

This sack represents the immediate cause of the ambush—its discovery forces the Doctor and Sarah into a life-or-death escape, accelerating their entanglement with the unfolding catastrophe in London. Its contents symbolize the moral decay within Irongron's faction, using stolen resources for war preparations at the cost of local civilians.
