Is there any way to have a character leave items at a specific location in game, and be able to retrieve them later? I don't mean just setting the item on the ground, but maybe having them in storage somewhere.

Example: A character is working on something for a plot that will eventually require 200 lbs worth of components. The character has access to a very secure, guarded area, and wants to leave the items within, to be picked up later when they have gathered together everything for the project.

Is this something where you should just get a DM to remove the items from your inventory, and plan to give them back right before the plot resolution, as long as the PC returns to the location where they were dropped?

For factions PCs, and other PCs that buy, or earn the right IC, there's places IG where you can store things over resets. However, as I think I know what you're referring to, I think that it's fine to just keep a tally of what you've recovered so far after finding an IG place to store them.

Thanks, LaBrea.
