S3 - Pool Room Uses
-
I quite liked when there was a shark in the pool room (only happened once, if I remember right) and also when one of those magic swords came out of the pool.
What would be good is if the water swirled and turned into a huge hand that chased the dungeoneer until he reached the exit. But that would probably require more advanced real-time 3D rendering (to cope with the dungeoneer's movements) which simply wasn't available in 1989.
These days, a regular PC or games console can create the necessary effect in real-time, easily!

The pool room was underused when you consider that the Dunswater and the Sewers of Goth were used in ever quest within their own series.
I love the series 8 moment with the miremen in Goth and it's a shame that they didn't have a similar moment in Series 3.

Maybe the room could start to overflow, and fill gradually with water. This would be a cue for the dungeoneer to exit with haste.
Could have had a mermaid i.e a heroine much like Gwendoline, velda etc but one that lives in the water and gives helpful advice to dungeoneers.

Well, I suppose we could always use the pool to drown Gretel. Or maybe just hold her under for a while and tell her it'll make her beautiful.

Thankfully gretal was dead before the S3 pool room thanks to the appearence of the much less annoing melliesandre. What if a wellway appeared from the pool room and rised out of the water the wouldve been a spectacle but it was a fake and they died of drowning. they souldve used the pool to restore life force.

Hi, steved, and welcome to the forum. The pool room appeared on Level 1 of Series 3 a number of times, though the shark's fin was only seen there once (Martin's quest, Team 11). If you check the Series 3 pages on knightmare.com, you can find a picture of that. It certainly put the advisors into a panic.
There's an interesting topic about the room here: http://www.knightmare.com/forum/http://www.knightmare.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=1;action=display;threadid=1577
I was thinking recently about the occasion when a sword rose out of the water. Could it have been a Lady Of The Lake reference?

I always assumed that was the case - nice little touch I thought. I also vaguely remember the shark fin's appearance being accompanied by some Jaws-like music!
