First, please include [MEPBM] in your subject line to follow convention for
this newsgroup and let others who want to read/avoid MEPBM do so.

This encounter looks similar to the Mirrowmere and Enchanted River
encounters, but I've never heard of this particular one.  Given the
location, the outcome is probably not alignment related.  With those
options, I would guess that there are interesting possibilities.
DRINK will probably make a random gain of skill or loss of health.
WATCH might gain information.
STEP into the basin might be a random teleport
DESTROY the basin seems like a wrong choice to me.
Let us know what you try and how it comes out.
