Session 19: Nightmare on the Night Shift
General Summary
The Coast Guard dutifully performed their task at keeping the cave system below town cleared of civilians during the night. As the week progressed, they continued to see Gutters wandering around at night, venturing further in as their cravings grew with no one to supply them.
On the third night, the group found a family camping out in a cave. Basil Thornton, a 1/2 drow dock worker, had taken his wife Alice and their son to sleep somewhere other than their apartment at the Tenements due to being unable to sleep safely due to bad dreams, or something to that effect. The Coast Guard pitched in and bought the Thorntons a room at the Lodge for a tenday while they investigate what was going on at the Tenements.
Inside the shoddily built housing complex, SNTR-1 and Leaf investigated the only below-ground level part -- a communal basement of sorts that clearly sees much use. Leaf smelled spores, but it was determined that they were brought into the Tenements from outside, not originating in the building.
Emelia and Calloway broke into Basil's apartment and looked for clues. Emelia fixed the window and felt wind coming from outside. When Leaf in direwolf form came, he smelled Astral Remnants in the air coming from the window.
The CG decided to take up post on the roof. They were confronted by a Nightgaunt, a nightmarish denizen of Shadowfell that feeds on and enhances fear in its victims. The monster was able to frighten Calloway for most of the fight, but the lone creature was unable to focus on any one threat because the absolute powerhouse wolfpack that is the Coast Guard (at least toward the end of the fight when SNTR-1 started making good rolls ;) )

TLDR:
The Coast Guard keeps the caves clear. A nightmare beast from the Shadowfell is killed at the Tenements.Bookkeeping:
