Killing Heralds in Hardcore can be dangerous

Today I experienced something new with Heralds. At the end of my Chaos run the final seal monster (Lord de Sais in my case) spawned a Herald. My intention was to first Kill Diablo and then check out the Herald. So I wanted to run to the middle where Diablo appears, but I could not do it. My Barb did the running animation but he did not move forward, he was kind of stuck although there were no obstacles. I then stopped pressing my run/walk button and pressed it again. My Barb did respond the same way as before. Then I took a closer look at where the Herald would spawn. Quickly it became clear to me that the Herald would spawn right on top of me. Somehow I had the feeling my barb was stuck to the place where the Lightning Bolt (which appears several times before the Herald spawns) hits the Ground. By that time I was in emergency mode and said to myself "quickly, get out of the game now", which I did. Therefore I could not investigate this strange situation any further...
