Gonna be a bit till i get to the cursed abbey, just got my a$$ handed to me in the sewers under the market area <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />
I did not take on the sewers till later in the game. Way to powerfull monsters in there. What is your lvl?

Anyway, another idea is to place your items in chests/vases (just don't open vases in combat mode! LOL! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />). They can be carried and placed wherever you want, and they hold as much stuff if not more of what you can carry. They are excellent places to stash things and you always know where they are!
