TPK (Total Party Katastrophe)

RecipePaFp. 632014

As the nights draw down toward winter, the people of Waterdeep mark the changing seasons with an unusually bloody festival called Howldown. The City Guard, accompanied by a few willing Waterdhavians, head out into the surrounding countryside to hunt down and slay any beasts, creatures, monsters, and even criminals who might threaten rural residents of the villages beyond the city walls. The City Watch conducts a similar purge within the walls. It is a cruel, brutal, and very dubious tradition.

Like many establishments, the Pink Flumph hosts a breakfast for returning crews as the sun comes up, complete with pitchers of a delicious fruity punch made with tart tamarind, sweet passion fruit, and bright green slices of kiwi. This "TPK" is the only "total party katastrophe" that a Howldown crew wants to experience after a night of fighting monsters. As the name implies, a TPK can absolutely finish off a whole party.
