You can't do that while you're paralyzed!
bah! 20 mins of not being able to move, cast, gossip, tell, page the gods even check where or who all from a single trap on a cache.
For those interested this one is in Ice City on AH at the chef in The Kitchen
I can use look, inv and eq but those are the only commands I can use.
Not sure how this adds enjoyment to the game ... if it was a more common occurance then we'd all be careful to avoid and work out ways to recover but this once in a blue moon stop all playing trap is quite frankly pants.
