This is a lot of step by step that demonstrates the different ways to manifest this and my thoughts along the way as this process evolved. The crash files are attached, the one time stamped the latest is the crash described with in the steps, the others were generated before I started writing every step down. Sadly I cannot find any correlation between this and the endless loot in containers like the lions dead adventurer

inventory
bb priest and wizard have their shields
save game
exit game
launch game
load save
looks good
NOTES to self
 1- I know shields in slot II is a trigger
 2- I know from previous undocumented loads that putting all items in stash makes them
appear after load as a floating pile much like the stationary piles on the floor.
 3- I know BB spawned shields don't always make it through a save
 4- I know BB spawned weapons don't fare well in inventory after a save
...
Take all shields and put them in main characters inventory
save game
exit game
launch game
load save
so far so good, no floaters and no drops
enter inn
WTF all the shields in my main character's inventory are stuck between his feet and
BB wizard dropped his rod book and sword by the bar. Not his shield though,
 that is at my main characters feet
Hmm.. BB wizard is looking pretty suspicious now
leave inn

choose old Vialia, no spawn shield for main
step out of spawn area
inventory
Wiz and priest have their shields
Note to self...
no way to drop or delete bb/spawn items, no place to put them except store,
which I know is a trigger or stash which makes them float after a load...
must kill bb wizard and leave all shields on his body.....
..

put shield in BB priest slot II
put rogue hatchet in bb priest slot I
leave inn

enter inn
HMM... main char sword and bb priest hatchet are on floor by bar but not the shield
Soo.. now I know...
Selling BB weapons to stores is a trigger (for in store drops)
and BB priest shield in slot II is a trigger for (equipped weapon drops by the bar at the inn)
and ..possibly bb wizard has a permanent trigger, perhaps one of his slots or items or his avatar....
save game
exit game
launch game
load save
looks same, need different weapons to see it is a one time or every time drop
leave inn no glitches
enter tower shop no glitches
leave tower shop no glitches
put shield in bb fighters slot II
put hatchet in BB fighter slot I
enter tower no drop
leave tower no drop
enter tower no drop
leave tower no drop
?? is it possible only the inn and armory transition from inside to outside triggers the shield in slot II drop of
equipped weapons, as opposed to the slot itself being the trigger, since this transition does not trigger it?
enter inn same as before a hatchet and sword
NOTE the shield did not drop anywhere yet...
leave inn
enter armory
see all bb weapons I sold on floor plus hatchet and sword but NOT SHIELD.
soo... the items I sold dropped to floor because I sold them and the hatchet and
sword dropped because I left from inside to outside with a shield in a slot II and weapons equipped.
 I also know that the main char is who triggered it here and bb priest triggered in the inn..
..
put shield in slot II of priest
leave armory
looks good outside, no drops outside and nothing stuck between my feet.
BB wiz is looking bad about now
enter tower shop, looks good no glitch

Hmm... why didn't BB priest trigger BB fighter to drop rod?? is it possible every once in
a while the trigger glitch has a glitch that makes the end result work properly??

open wiz inventory
take cloak from inv and put at his neck slot

double click cloak icon in neck slot, icon moves back into inventory, neck slot appears empty but
wiz cloak appears on his avatar in inventory screen.
look at all other avatars in inventory screen, they all have wiz cloak pinned behind them but
not attached to any of them, not even wiz.
now close inv screen
position wiz avatar so with inv screen open he is visible in game world too
open inventory screen
take cloak from inv slot to neck slot normally w/ a one click drag and drop
see game avatar cloak appear and disappear but not inventory avatar cloak
close inv screen
open inv screen
drag and drop cloak into neck slot
double click cloak icon
see cloak appear on inventory avatar while disappearing on game avatar and icon moves back into inventory
leave inn
enter inn
LOOK AT THAT!!! ALL EQUIPED ITEMS ARE NOW DROPPED ON FLOOR AT BAR!!

SOO.... Until the code is fixed... to not have any item drops you must....
1- Never equip a shield in slot II prior to a transition ( probably good measure no weapon too)
2-Never sell a BB item or weapon
3-Never load a saved game (just let this puppy run until you are ready to restart)
4-Never use Stash
5-Never touch BB wiz cloak unless you are feelin lucky  and the first time you move it it comes off and stays off
6- Never bother playing a game that on opening scene bb priest and bb wiz shields are not visible,
     they are really there.
7- To be determined
