Dropping plot items on adventure screen - why?

[Marten]

Fml, when I was disposing of those useless alchemist gems in Far East today, I managed to destroy an Athame plot item instead. It seemed rather suspicious, so I tried to destroy other important items such as Rod of Recall and Transmogrification Chest, and to my own bewilderment, it did so as well! Seriously, this is like the only RPG I've ever played, that lets you completely mess up your own game with a single misclick, but heck, at least the success chance of my master's thesis has probably increased now that I can't really do much with that char anymore...

All jokes aside, shouldn't there at least be some kind of a "lost and found" shop in all commonly accessible areas such as Lost Hope and Sunwall, which would let you recover those items somehow? I wouldn't mind if it would collect pretty much all of the yellow items, that got stuck in some inaccessible place...

I remember when I did this with the staff of absorbtion.

Good times...

That's strange--I've been unable to get rid of plot items that I WANTED to get rid of. On multiple characters I've been victim of a bug that causes me to have multiple "Orb of Many Ways" which is completely useless, and just takes an extra encumbrance, but no matter what I do I can't get rid of either of them, whether by dropping or transmogrifying either on the world map or elsewhere.
