For the teleporter stones, head north west of the imp village.
I think the only rope you need is on the first level of the game, from the escape tunnel.
Try clicking on an odd looking gem in your inventory.
I don't think there are any limits on how much you can place in a chest. You have to be careful loading containers too much, though. Sometimes the game can move items to another area, and place them partially or completely off the window to the right. This happened to me a couple times (before the patch updated the BF traders' inventories so they could buy as much loot as you could find as soon as you found it). Once I was able to just catch part of the item by running my cursor over the right edge of the inventory screen, and the other time I was not.
