That sounds like the Tomb of Horrors, which is FULL of areas to get stuck in.
PC using subtlety to kill a powerful being that trusted them.
They are invited to discuss some works they could do for him. And the discussion end very fast, with a short curb stomp battle because the being didn't expect to be attacked by his 'faithful' minions.
Happy, the PC opened the door and walked in the same piece they left. Again, again ... and again. Before realizing that no, thousand years old near divine being would not be that gullible.
After a while the real being arrived, more amused than angry, and asked them if they would try to kill him now or suffer punishement.
Strangely PC did the wise thing and took punishement rather than fight the being able to distort space/time without any dice roll.

Probably something boring like "magically warped back to the room once you've walked far enough".
Fun fact: this encounter was the part of the show where I realized that Smolder was supposed to be a girl. I don't think anyone had referred to her in the third person until now.
Tell a story about a better idea a player had than your original idea so you stole it. And if it was as obvious to the players that you did like this GM here.
I do this fairly often, because I'm playing with kids at work and need to keep them engaged. If they want to fight gargoyles, we fight gargoyles. If they want to raise a salamander as a pet, have a pet salamander. What they don't know is that they're playing right into my hands, since I can have the salamander burn down their base or the gargoyles fly off with the treasure. Whatever happens, I have ready made plot hooks to keep them going for days. So long as they come back to the table, which is another story...
the mage and the rouge once went through the 'magic/magnetized bracelets' thing once.
Was the rouge being used to polish the bracelets? <G>
rouge: a fine abrasive, often reddish tint, used for polishing
rogue: a (fine?) adventurer, tint varies, (mis)used by police
