If this is the room that I think you mean, then it is the one that you 
teleported to, and cannot find an easy way out, right?  It has been a while,
so if any of this is wrong, E-mail or re post to me and I will try to help
more.
Place one gem in each of any three alcoves in this room, and the fourth wall
will open.  At least one of these is a trap, and I think you only get one 
choice, so save the game first.  Inside you will find a "seed" gem, which
as I recall, when place on the soft spot on the floor will open another
teleporter out.  Each different room has its own magic items, so you will want
to check them all.

First a hint, so don't read further unless you want the answer.
HINT: You need to find an exit.


ANSWER: Form an "X" on the floor with the items you leave.

Yes, once you have used the clues I have given you, you will find places
to rest.
