I would guess that the SoS in the topic refers to the Staff of Striking, since Marrowmeld's last post was about losing items in the Underdark, which he thought was due to the SoS.
In this case SoS(that's SixOfSpades this time), is right, the gear would have been dropped into a pile when the character was taken from you. You aren't the first person to have this problem either. Since Bhodi appears immediately when you arrive at the Graveyard, it is fairly common for the equipment pile to be unseen because it's at the edge of the screen and surrounded by other party members (especially for those who keep their love interest at the back of the party--but who keeps their clerics at the back?).
The problem is compounded because of the travel needed to get your love interest returned to you will guarantee that too much time has elapsed by the time you realize the equipment is missing. I think this was one instance where the items should have been transferred to the leader's inventory, and the excess dropped because at least that way, you get the inventory full: item dropped message. Even having the encounter with Bhodi happen further into the map would have been better, since the item pile would have been easier to spot away from the collonaded entryway.
All in all, I hope that you don't have to redo the whole quest to recover your items. If they are gone, and you shudder to think of having to repeat so much of the game, ask us for a quick tutorial on using the CLUAConsole to recreate your lost items. If you give me the list of items you need, I can also give you all the code numbers for them.
