Blade trap? I saw that "decoration" and didn't even realize it might be a
trap. So I walked right into it. And nothing happened at all. In fact,
until someone else mentioned the word trap in-game, I didn't even think that
was what it might be. The next time I was there, I stood under it, and
still, no effect. I never take damage from it. Has anyone out there ever
been damaged by it?
