Glink will move ahead, curious to see the next room. Using his flying speed he cruises several feet above the water’s surface. He approaches the brazier and inspects it trying to figure out its purpose.
The water is frigid cold, and at the bottom of the steps comes up to mid thigh on the hobgoblin. The bottom feels covered in mud and slime. This would be considered difficult terrain and there is a possibility of slipping and falling. The water is murky and you cannot see through it.
As he gets to the middle of the room he starts to feel a pain behind his eyeballs. Like something is sucking at his thoughts.
Arvos cries out in pain "Ahhh! my eyes. Oh no something in my mind!" he stumbles forward clutching his head; trying to get out of the muck. If the pain intensifies, he will retreat back to the stairs on the east side.
Vodin stumbles back to Nib and is sucking in ragged breaths "I am not sure what in blazes happened to me, but I don't think we can head that way until we figure what was probing my mind. Glink did you discover anything of note?"
“It’s full of a glowing liquid,” Glink reports. “I wasn’t able to see any more without getting close. But I know someone who might be able to help.” he adds as he takes a seat on the steps and begins a ritual to summon his nurse.

(OOC: I’m not sure what to do with it yet, suggestions welcome! Maybe collect a sample of the liquid to see if it hurts when it gets close..?)
As the others stand and stare blankly off into space, Glink just shrugs before handing his empty waterskin to the Servant and commanding her to fill it with glowing liquid from the brazier.
If that happens without incident then he will command her to slowly approach with the waterskin of glowing fluid.
As the servant dips the waterskin towards the liquid, a tentacle of the liquid lashes out and destroys the waterskin. The liquid starts to flow out of the brazier.

"............anybody got any potatoes? We could drop a potato in each hole an' see which ones get viciously mauled by horrible monsters?"
Vodin was distracted by what he experienced and did not notice Glink had asked a question. Though once he sees the floating waterskin he turns his attention the vessels of glowing liquid. When he sees the watery tentacle lash out, he says "What was that? Some kind of elemental"
He takes his bow and knocks an arrow hoping his arrows can actually hurt this creature.
Vodin will look for a pebble and toss it into the dark water to see what happens.

Vodin will begin to cross the room dreading each step he takes. He keeps his eyes peeled for danger looks to Glink to see if they have found anything.

It gets worse as he gets closer to the brazier, so backing up was a better option.
Glink also begins to feel as if something is digging around in the grey matter.

Nubs says “come back. “
D&D since 1984
Vodin quickly heads back to Nib in great panic.
Glink will head back to the others.
(OOC: was Glink able to approach the brazier without the brain pain prior to Vodin stepping in the water?)
Glink was moving along the ceiling, so farther from the brazier than Vodin.
