Warning! I actually fell for this in the first game or two. Disruptive. I forget what I had to do, but I remember it was a _______ (fill in favorite expletive here)

Tonight we were exploring the Umpani caves and fought a big battle against 2 ensnaring spiders, 5 cavern spiders, 6 bat vampires, many diseased rats, etc. At the end of the battle we moved to a space that was a angular depression before saving. Oops, wrong move. This area (you find it if you stay on the left in the unexplored area heading towards a chest) locks all movement and says you are trying to move if you rest or do other things. Fought another battle without any movement possible. The critters moved during combat, their turn, but we could not. So we said to each other: Ok, save and reload. No good. So we said: let's just teleport out.

Did so and were still unable to move! (this time in Mountain Wilderness...you don't want to be immobilized there I think).

Definately a bug. So we saved and reloaded. Movement came back. We had a portal still in Umpani caves (not in area from Hell) so all is well. If we didn't have transporting, the game would have been over. Nasty bug. Do any still fall for this?
