Shattered Kingdoms

A circle of stones
Not far from the city of Teron, this small clearing is home
/yyyy to the renowned portal stones, of which several scatter the
--*yy realms. Brave souls have been known to utilize the arcane power
ryyyy that is bound to the stones, travelling to far lands in the blink
of an eye. A path leads west through the fields, directly to the
city gate. It's partly cloudy, freezing, and very windy.
Obvious exits: n e s w nw ne sw se gate rift
A magical gate glowing with red energy leads elsewhere.
A magical rift is glowing violently in the mid-air.
A set of rune-inscribed stones frame the center of the clearing here.
A sable-black bay destrier exits out of a magical gate.

You walk southeast.
You step into a snare and are suddenly pulled off your feet!
A clanging bell announces that a snare has been set off.
You cut yourself free.

Thistle Fields
A field of lush green grass has grown up in this spot, marked
--?yyyF here and there by thistles and heather. Occasionally one can spy
ryy*yFf a bird's nest hidden in the fields or a gopher hole. It's
prrrrrf partly cloudy, freezing, and very windy.

Obvious exits: n e s w nw ne sw se
A sable-black bay destrier soars in from northwest.

Also, when you are stuck in a snare and you teleport...You are still stuck in a snare no matter where the teleport takes you.

Snares are a debuff affect falling in the same catagory as weaken, slow, ect, so if you teleport away with a snare you'll still have it just like if you teleport while weakened. That's been something that has been around forever.

Not always cutting yourself free of a snare when the message goes by is the only bug I know of that snare does, and I've never been able to repeat it to get a good log of it not working.

Which religion's faith spell is Esuna? I'd really like to play that one.

After looking it over,I think it's just an echo(?) if someone and/or your pet gets caught in a snare.

A thick-maned lion steps into a snare and is suddenly pulled off of his feet!
A clanging bell announces that a snare has been set off.
You cut yourself free.

It isn't an echo, that is the game telling you that you are free to go.

Right when you get snared though? That just happened to me the same way: got snared and cut myself free right away but was still actually snared.

What orius posted was actually of MY character.

And I was flying when this happened so to me this looks like an echo that happened when my lion got snared.

I don't know what to call it but it's not supposed to show up. You can't cut yourself free of something you weren't caught in,does that make sense?

The same thing happens when you are ethereal. You cant be caught in it, so you automatically cut yourself free.
