# Room 3: Fountain Pool

## High-Level Summary

Room 3 is an outdoor forest clearing featuring a beautiful marble-lined pool with columns. The room serves as a transitional area connecting to rooms 2 (west), 4 (east), 9 (south), and 27 (north). The primary interactive elements include the pool itself (which can be entered for swimming/drinking), marble columns, and steps. Most notably, Cupid randomly appears in this room carrying a golden bow and arrows, which can be obtained through interaction. The room uses region 507 and features a script that handles player falling into the water based on control areas.
