I don't usually come back to town until my inventory is full.
I'd started a new character on USEast (a far-too-many-skeletons necromancer) and done the Cain quest. After clicking on Cain to free him, I grabbed a bunch of salable stuff until my inventory was full, went back to town, talked to Cain to get his undying gratitude and have my stuff IDed and then visited Akara. I got the "You risked your life message", and then opened the merchant window. There was no quest ring, but that was no surprise since my inventory was full. I'd just pick it off the ground when I finished. The odd thing was I didn't hear the "ring" sound effect. And after leaving the trade screen, there was nothing on the ground. Odd I thought.
I decided I didn't like how I was building that character so I deleted and recreated him. A fresh start, though for convenience, I gave him the old character's cube. Again, I'm doing the Cain quest. I get to the tree and get the scroll. I'm running out of space so I put the scroll into my cube. It's still there when I go to town and visit Akara. She gives me the translation speech, I sell stuff and then open my cube to get out the other stuff I'm selling, and the scroll is missing. Weird. I check the quest, and it says it's time to use the scroll on the stones. But the scroll is nowhere to be found in the game. (At this point I should have tried randomly clicking stones, but instead I made a new game and got the scroll again.)
A friend has started playing again. His inventory was almost full when he did A5Q2. He only got two of the runes as a reward. Instead of falling to the ground, the third one just vanished.
These all happened in private games, so I don't think I was hit by a sneak thief.
Also, a few weeks ago, I finally was able to go through Cain's portal. In this one game, his portal stayed open - like from a portal shrine and I was able to use it.
