Fountain Project (Edited)

[Hooks]

This is a fountain that I am creating for a cavern room with a pool. The fountain is "holy", and provides healing to wounded characters. There is a catch, the fountain is not endless. If it is used too often, the "patron" of the fountain becomes angry and sends copious amounts of water into the pool causing it to flood the pool and the cavern. This can be averted either by keeping use to a minimum or by offering "sacrifices" in exchange for healing. Items are sacrificed by casting them into the pool. Items "vanish" as they sink to the bottom. Particularly valuable items may be rewarded with an item of significance or even a "divine" messenger. When finished I will post with it on the tile.

Nice piece. what did u use for the stones? R they real?

The stones are made by cutting pieces from a cardboard egg carton. One carton has contributed to three projects and I still have 3/4 of the carton remaining.
