I found a pile of nice-looking stuff last night while hunting in that area. Looked as if it might have been a barbarian's. I camped there for a while and actually requested an assist to see if they could do anything--no dice. I left the room briefly when the assist came, and someone picked through the stuff (I think they got some armor and a parry stick), but I was able to save a lot of it and will hold onto it. I suppose just email me at my play.net email address if it is yours.
Thanks,
