# 21_20201120 Ustilagors Attack
## Session Summary
The Order heard a portal opening and a door ahead closing in what turned out to be the Ballista Room, which had large bolts for a ballista and other crates, some of which smelled like they had flaming pitch, an oil used for dipping ballista bolts in. We then entered the Temple of Bahamut, which also looked like it had been disturbed. Then we got to the Well Room, where we were attacked by larval brain-like mind flayers called Ustilagor. We also found a very heavily wounded Declan there behind the well, ostensibly having been attacked by the Ustilagor. ^summary

- Metal door - something carved into it, like a small shield #[[Temple of Bahamut]]
- Other door: wooden door with chemicals behind it. Ka'ira opens it. #[[Ballista Room]]
