Pool room

Ah yes, the Pool. A beautiful outdoor arena near the Front Lawn, and with an entrance to the Hedge Maze. "The" Pool, is a bit of a misnomer. There are six pools, including a main Olympic sized feature, several smaller wading pools and hot tubs, a meandering lazy river with a detailed rocks wall full of caverns and crevasses, and a novelty pirate ship serving as something of a feature point to draw attention. A beautifully manicured lawn surrounds area, while immediately surrounding each pool is a lovely arrangement of textured tiles. Don't let the natural beauty of the area fool you, there are plenty of hazards, traps, hinderances, and the occasional aids awaiting our contestants.

Help:

• Slip Tokens: Hidden in and around the pools are shiny "slip" tokens. These tokens can be spent to immediately free oneself from all bondage equipment applied by an opponent. Be wise in their use, as once they are used, they are discarded.
• Rigging Rope: There's tons of nylon rope scattered about the pool area, and it's all perfect for binding an opponent once they've been properly subdued.
• Pool Pirate Crew: Solving the central puzzle of the Pool room will earn the loyalty of the local pirate crew. These bonny lasses are relentless in their pursuit of booty, and will hunt down any opposing players in the pool area. What's more, after they capture and bind their quarry, they'll drag them to the brig, a secure location at the heart of the pirate ship where rescue is nigh impossible.

Hinderances:

• Rock wall trap: While the rock wall does contain both slip tokens, and needed components for the pool puzzle, would-be climbers should take heed. If a contestant chooses the wrong foothold or carelessly grasps the wrong stone, leather and steel may await them.
• Pool toy pandemonium: Don't trust any of those adorable inflatable pool toys, nor the beach balls, or the inner tubes. In fact, trust almost nothing floating in the pools. They're likely booby traps, waiting to assail with everything from hidden straps and cuffs, to chloroform and sticky glue. Regardless of what our contestants find, they won't enjoy it, but their foes will.
• Pillaging Pool Pirates: If the Pool Pirates have not been recruited, then contestants beware, for "X" marks the spot you DON'T want to be. The local pirates have stashed their treasures throughout the pool area, and they guard it jealously. If a contestant stays too close to coordinates marked with an "X", a count down begins. If they don't vacate the area in time, the Pool Pirates will descend upon them in full **** until a corresponding "X" in the pool area is pressed by the contestants. These unruly pirates will attack any and all contestants in the area, potentially binding all players.
• Sleeping by the Pool: Our contestants should be wary not to dilly-dally about the pool. If the contestants spend more than 15 minutes in the Pool, and don't solve the central puzzle, The Manor will take matters into its own hands. Powerful tranquilizers will be released into the water. These chemicals will quickly volatilize into a thick vapor. Anyone caught in the mist will quickly be sent off to dreamland... unless you have rebreathers like our lovely Pool Pirates. Once asleep, contestants will be easy pickings for the marauding crew. Unlucky contestants will soon find themselves high and dry... or perhaps sunk and wet...
