# 07_20201011 Fighting aberrations to help orcs ## Session Summary As we were sneaking around in the sewers, we came across a part of five creatures similar to those we saw in the [[House of Knowledge]], in that they were aberrations with strange mixtures of body parts. These creatures were dragging two orcs away. Eager to help, Ka'ira and Maestro insisted that we stay and fight for the freedom of those orcs. We managed to win the fight. One orc died, but the other was able to escape, and unfortunately we don't know if he even saw Ka'ira and Maestro (Hill and Xio were not in line of sight). Ka'ira managed to convince the Nothic plague gazer to join the party, but it was then killed telepathically by its "Master". ^summary ## Recap ![[06_20201010 Reunion in the sewers#^summary]] ## Log - Encounter! - 3 Brains hovering in the air with a beak on one side and tentacles for feet.
