Fountain

Finding a Fountain can be a the savior of a party striving to survive in the dark depths of a Dungeon. They can have different effects; some of them beneficial, some of them unpleasant. Unfortunately you don't know what kind it is without drinking.

In Ultima III, fountains could have three effects:
 * "Ah! That's nice!" - Cure poison
 * "How wonderful!" - Heal all damage
 * "Yuck Horrible!" - Poison

In Ultima IV, fountains could have five effects:
 * "Ahh-Refreshing!" - Heal all damage
 * "Hmm--Delicious!" - Cure poison
 * "Bleck--Nasty!" - Acid deals 100hp damage
 * "Argh-Choke-Gasp!" - Poison
 * "Hmm--No Effect!" - Merely water or no change caused by it's normal effect

The same rules applied for fountains in Ultima V, but they were only found in the dungeons Wrong, Covetous and Deceit. After that age, magic fountains became rare and were only seldomly found.
