Logs 521-565: Justice League Prevails

JFP's Justice League Campaign Ended in a Team Victory!
The adventures of the Justice League continued, with me playing Kamai (the elf martial artist/psionicist).

*The team met up with Kamai near the swamp and explored the area. The group's horses were eaten by swamp monsters. The trees came alive and attacked the team. PM and Dreylis explored a cave together.
*The group fought a swamp dragon.
*The Justice League was recruited to go off-world (PM, DL, TR, Zahn, Daggin, and Kamai) to a world with the same level of technology as 1920s Earth. There, they were undercover agents working for the elves who needed intel about what their human enemies were up to. TR was a "politician" with PM as his "trophy wife" while DL was a janitor at the military base. Zahn and Kamai worked for the newspaper.
*The team engaged in many spy missions and covert operations on this planet. DL got a magic hanggun. AJ joined in as a gangster. The group was in a car that exploded; Kamai died in the explosion. [Side note: the DM decided to give me a chance to play Merry again - with him having transformed into a bard while in the Domains of Dread - so we did a side mission with Merry confronting Strahd and I rolled a natural 20 to stake the vampire lord in the heart; while Strahd was incapacitated, Corellon freed Merry from the Domains of Dread and placed him back with the Justice League]
*Merry rejoined his friends on the "1920s world" and got himself some electric-powered music gear.
*Successful in their mission for the elves, the Justice League then found themselves sent to Arkon Planet, where they were all magically disguised as elves to infiltrate the dragon king Galas' operations.
*After that, the team was dwarves while Daggin got a powerful magical book.
*Kelsarin joined up with the group as they were killing more dragon kings. After completing those goals, the team was ready to return to Toril...
*[Our DM also gave people a chance to DM what we called "the dream sessions" - in which our characters were effectively "dreaming" and had different adventures on different worlds; this gave JFP a break for a bit and let some of the players who hadn't DM'd have a chance in the seat of power.]
*For "the dream sessions" the team was on different worlds dealing with different challenges.
*On Toril, the group found a crash site in an agre area with "alien" elves.
*The team barely survived combat with 4 badass elementals.
*The team spent time at Kelsarin's Mage School.
*The team successfully became "Honorary Harpers" after helping Waterdeep and the Sword Coast.
*The team had another deadly battle.

*DL got married to a princess from the Sword Coast and became a king.
*The team fought more elementals.
*Elminster showed up and was involved in a plot with PM's brother.
*PM had to fight a zombie version of herself (from when she had died in the past).
*The group fought red and black dragons.
*The team went to Gadzel's to fight an evil army with zombies.
*In Shadowdale the group got an update on PM's brother.
*The team then had to go to islands with alien zombies and kill them all.
*The alien invasion happend with "trarrasquelings" (modified monsters that were like small trarrasques) and a tarrasque, with an ogre mage. The campaign finale was a huge battle against Jergal's forces that tried to take over the world.
*With the Justice League victorious, the group planned out 10 years of retirement as an epilogue. DL and his wife had their kingdom to run. TR and PM had their keep in Archendale, with Merry there as well. Zahn and Daggin also survived and had their own keeps as well.

Side Note: The Justice League adventures lasted 5 years in real life and were a ton of fun (though also very frustrating at times because we sometimes had no idea what was going on or why our characters were being asked to do stuff or who the bad guys really were, etc.). Sometimes we played several weeks in a row, but other times we only played about once a month. But clearly we had a good time overall and it was great getting to know D&D and hanging out with our friends.
