Rivon walks up to the door and notices a stone relief carving on the door that seals this chamber. The carving resembles a dragon like fish swimming. He deftly uses his lock picks to unlock the door then open it. He then opens the door.
Inside is a ten foot chamber, that is hewn from stone. It contains an upright keg fashioned of rusted iron. Rusted pipes lead from the keg into the floor.

"I wonder... Hey. Thrakk. Yer get'n a read off this one? Of the magical variety?"Cade asks the hobgoblin. "Probably a long shot. But can't see no reason fer it to be by itself unless it something -- Iunno, mechanical?" He asks. Once Thrakk has given his two cents on the subject, Cade will step up to try and pop it open its top using his axe if none volunteer a crowbar.

Thrak would look to Cade. "If you are willing to wait for me to cast my detect magic ritual, I could tell you for sure. The spell only lasts 10 minutes though.." The hobgoblin would say as unfastens his spellbook from his belt and begins looking through it.. and then to the item in front of them. Thrak would examine the item trying to determine what it is.. and if he cannot figure it out, he would begin casting the spell.
"Those we afta' been gone fer some time. So, it ain't like their situation is gonna be any worse or better fer us to be cautious 'bout this place."Cade admits, though it clearly pains him to some extent. "So, take the time ya need while we still got it."Looking to Rivon next, Cade nods in thanks for the crowbar. "Ya have my thanks, Mr. Rivon. Tho' just take'n what ain't mines isn't really my thing. Mama taught us betta than to do that on a whim. But if yer fine with it as far as the bar goes, well...I'll keep that in mind."
After all is said and done, Cade takes on a guard position by the door to await Thrak's advice about the barrel. Once given the magical version of the barrel having a clean bill of health, he'll gesture for people to step at least out of the room before taking a crowbar to its top.

Thrak looks over the keg, and while examining it, he shakes it a little bit and can hear a sloshing sound coming from inside. He's not quite sure what the function of this keg is, but it doesn't look to be in great shape. After performing his ritual to detect magic he doesn't get any pings from it.

"Right then. Stand back. Or even look into those other rooms now, if ya wishing to. Probably nothing in 'ere 'cept water or ale."Cade half-heartedly grins back to the others on the way towards the keg. After taking at least some care to make sure it wouldn't accidentally topple in the process, the goblin sets to work crowbaring the top off for a look inside.
Cade uses the crowbar to open the bung on the keg. As soon as the bung is opened, steam issues forth from the keg. A little voice is heard from the steam. "Freedom? We're free? WE'RE FREE!!!" From out of the steam come two creatures, that immediately attack Cade.
(OOC: If Steam Mephit and Ice Mephit had a kid, it could be Lukewarm Mephit.)
Option 1: Using his rapier, Rivon attacks a mephit that is engaged in melee range with one of our team. Then uses his bonus action to hide, behind Thrak, Xan or Darren if he can't find better cover.
Naturally Stealthy PHB, pg. 28
You can attempt to hide even when you are obscured only by a creature that is at least one size larger than you.
Option 2: If none are directly engaged, Rivon will use his bonus action to hide (as above), then will pop out and shoot his crossbow at the most likely mephit. Stealth: 14
Attack: 26 Damage: 9
(Crossbow damage, replace the d8 with 5) - So 12 damage with crossbow
"What in the wo--ah! Back you!" Cade shouts as he throws himself into a horizontal swipe at the one steam mephit, then circles around them so that they had to face him instead of the party with uncanny agility. "Come on you specters! I'm right here!"He barks, clapping his scimitar against shield.
Action: Reckless Scimitar Attack: 24 Damage: 7 at steam mephit.
Darren rushes in to attack the Mephits and swings and misses the Steam Mephit. He swings again and makes contact, hitting it right in the face. He swings again and misses. The Steam Mephit is looking really bad off at the moment. You could almost say "he's running out of steam!" Cade then runs up to the Steam Mephit and slices with his scimitar. The Steam Mephit is down. Rivon runs up to the Ice Mephit, and slashes at it with his Rapier, cutting down the fiends chest. He then runs to hide behind Thrak hiding behind the taller companion. This however gives the Ice Mephit an attack of opportunity (see below), then then Ice Mephit reaches out to claw Cade (see attack below).
Thrak will point his staff towards the Mephit and begin muttering under his breath in goblin as a Green skeletal hand fires from the tip of the skull covered staff towards the creature.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Scurrying away from the keg menaces almost going on all fours. “Why is there always things in things!” Once getting a good distance away from the memphit Ekk will draw his hand crossbow.
Attack: 4 Damage: 9
(if someone is within melee Ekk gets advantage from pack tactics: 5 )

Ekk will take the last gulp of his waterskin before dumping it out, trying to fill it with whatever is in the keg.
Ekk tries to remove the bung on the top of the keg to get something to fill his waterskin, however, the bung seems to be stuck.

Rivon is sure there's an adolescent level joke in there somewhere.
