A hag lures the players into a mirror maze. The mirrors are magic and can copy the character’s attacks and spells. If a mirror is broken, then the character who broke it also takes damage. Once they escape the maze, they realize it was a portal to the feywild.

“We can provide any equipment you need, or personnel.”
He strokes his chin. "I'll probably need some spell components, I'm sure you have them, and then a type of device that I call a Magnifier. As long as you have the parts, I can easily construct one." He lists a few things, none of which sound too rare or unheard of. "And any people that you would consider to be good at, well, infiltration, they would be greatly appreciated."
"We can supply all that, if you'd accompany me back to the Guild. I don't wish to doubt you, but are you up to the task? This will be a dangerous mission."
He smiles softly. "I'm old, your Majesty. Older than most. And with age comes a certain clarity, of what I should and shouldn't do. I'm getting the feeling that I should do this."
The king nods, understanding. “Now we ride back to the Kingdom. You will leave for your mission at dawn.” He jumps back on his horse, taking one last look at the gape.
He nods back, with a slight bow. "Roger that." He also mounts.
*Gonna have to sleep now, but when we continue, maybe a time skip to the next dawn is in order?*

What if the hag has a Lair Action where they cast mirror image on everyone inside the mirror maze, just to add that extra bit of chaos to the mix!

Dawn approaches, the night withdrawing as preparations are made for Yondor's mission. 6 men are ready to head off with him, all dressed in the guilds best cloak of invisibility. 7 horses are ready, as are all the items Yondor requested, laid out by the main gate out of the city.

Give your party a magic item at the start of the campaign that lets everyone cast misty step once, regaining the ability to do so if they roll a 6 on a d6 at the end of each of their turns. They will likely use this to execute some very creative strategies, and it will allow them to perform more shennaniganery to goof off.
Then, in the last dungeon of the campaign, have a large energy field encompassing the entire dungeon that disables all teleportation magic. If the party was abusing this powerful item to cheese fights and avoid interacting with parts of the campaign, they will start flailing as their crutch is taken away. If they used it responsibly and constructively, odds are they'll have a much easier time progressing without it.

Too easy, make the plate armor in the chest a mimic >:3
The fighter or paladin won't be able to resist and it'll be too late
Or make the pristine gemstone-encrusted ax the party finds in the dungeon a mimic. They'll think it's treasure, bring it with them, and get ambushed when they try to rest. ;)

Whenever I have monsters or enemies that use disintegration abilities (spells, eye rays, or otherwise) in my campaigns, I tend to have them target people's armor first. Few things are more intimidating than having your AC plummet at the start of a fight as your plate armor crumbles into dust. Ranged weapons tend to be more prioritized, though, and can be equally scary to disintegrate ;)
*I don't do this with magical armor or weapons because those are often difficult to replace, and it would suck if the +2 dragon scale mail you spent two irl weeks in a dungeon to find just vanished because a beholder shot at you from around a corner.*

What about a forest that will slowly turn you into a tree if you try to sleep in it. It is multiple days travel to get through, so the party must struggle with exhaustion and resource management as they try to make it through the twisted wood.

I actually have a plane of existence in my world that’s like that. It occasionally opens portals in forests near certain old trees. When you go in, you are greeted to a misty forest haunted by corpses overtaken by the vines and roots, which will then spread new seeds, continuing the cycle. The fun part is that the creatures overtaken are still alive, just controlled by the vines. People first become targeted by the vines when they try resting.

Can mimics mimic metal? Or just stone and wood?
Either way, I guess the DM can say that in their universe they can and really catch the party off guard.

What if mimics could infect objects? A mimic bracelet could turn a sword into a mimic, which could turn armor into a mimic, and so on.
also, give a rust monster’s corrode metal ability to something like a magic weapon or a powerful melee monster.
