Previously . . .
The group has given their farewells at Harlowe’s home and driven over the force construct road towards Fort Greene Park. They’ve dropped by the park and moved to foot with Harlowe armoring up and providing a modest light source by providing everyone with force armor. Fiona moves forwards immediately to test out the darkness and the weak light provided by the armor while Harlowe constructs a wall towards the large portal that they can barely perceive towards the south east.
Monsters in the Dark, Part II

Fort Greene Park

Dekalb Avenue &, S Portland Ave, 11205
As they approach the light, something runs towards Fiona from the darkness that’s the size of a normal human that looks like a melted baby doll made from teeth and claws with black oil slick-like skin. More swarm Fiona and Harvey striking at them, dealing some damage to Fiona while nothing gets through Harvey’s armor.
Harlowe charges forwards and swings a force greatsword at the remnants around Fiona and then punches into one of the remnant that accidentally impales itself on Harlowe’s force sword as it’s knocked backwards by Harlowe’s punches. Fiona summons her wave of water knocking the remnants away. Harvey fires off his weapons only for the remnants to dodge them while Flit moves backwards and attempts innerportation on the remnant in front of her, destroying it. Gigajewel charges forwards, grabbing at the remnants that were attacking Harvey, managing to grab one of them and electrifies one of the remnants into dust as one charges towards Harlowe, striking at him, the first being disarmed by Harlowe’s parry while several manages to slip through his defenses only to get damaged by the knockback of Harlowe’s aura. One strikes at Gigajewel to little effect. Several bolts of lightning spark out from the portal, hitting the team. Harlowe takes the full brunt of the blow while constructing a force wall between the lightning and most of his team to help protect them as Flit pops out of the way.
Harlowe finds his force construct powers malfunctioning as he tries to set up force constructs so he falls back upon his force weaponry, slicing through several of the remnants. Fiona attempts to slice at a remnant as it gets out of her way. Harvey takes a healing spritzer to restore himself to keep going. Flit attempts to take control of the portal to close it, it starts to spark out impossible coloured lights that land on the remnants, they’re dragged back into the portal as it pops closed as she bleeds a bit from facial orifices.
Aftermath
They huddle up as Harlowe suggests they double check the hospital that’s supposed to be by them and that Gigajewel puts her handcuffs back on as she’s still sparking. At least staying down low until their power malfunctions stop happening.
After Action Report (GM)
This was a straight up combat session that lasted about 2.5 hours and I had to stop multiple times to calm a freaked out cat, deal with family, deal with some work emails, and more. But it was fun and the players had a first taste of things to come.
Other Notes
None.
