He spent an entire evening devising a large (like 200 ft. square) treasure room which he fiendishly peppered with dozens of thoroughly detailed traps every few squares. He drew his own "map" on a sheet of grid paper with red numbers for each trapped square. He was so proud and smug that he actually flashed his map to us before we entered the room. A few moments later, when he described the room with its pile of glittering loot at the far end, he then asked us for our actions. I immediately stated that we were going to enter, walk to the left for 60 ft, turn 90º to the right and cross 200 ft. to the far wall and then follow the wall back to the right to the pile of treasure. The DM giddily looked at his map to see which trap we'd stumble into first only to realize that I'd described a clear path through the room. A little frustrated, the DM then said that I was cheating and that we should do it differently. I said okay and then told him that my wizard was going to dimension door to the pile of loot and throw it into my portable hole. My DM getting more frustrated that his wonderfully trapped room was being defeated so easily told me to do something else. I told him I would cast telekinesis and float the loot back to us at the door, or cast teleport to reach the loot, or cast fly to float over all the floor traps or summon monsters to set off all the traps, ect... He got so frustrated IIRC that he just ended the session then and there and we never did get the loot. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f621.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:"  data-smilie="4"data-shortname=":mad:" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
