Yes i did... use the Armoury Chest all the time. I think i was confused about the proceedure and thought I had won when in fact i had just asked for items that no one else said they wanted but it looks like someone did anyway, the skills was the main thing to report, it did happen twice...and no clue as to why. I am quite sure my bar was locked at the time, no reason to unlock it just before battle. And it was strange to see them ALL gone all at once. Fortunatley the team was patient and waited for me very nicely. We made it thru tho it was a tough fight at times. thanks for the reply.
