tankhughes commented on the word TPK
A TPK is a "total party kill" in Dungeons and Dragons or other TTRPGs. That means that the group (adventuring party) of player characters (PCs) was fully killed in an attack of some kind. Often times, one of two of a party will fall to 0 hit points (HP) during a battle, but another character with healing spells or a healing potion will bring them back from death saving throws and continue on their adventure. However, when all of the player characters die, and no one is there to resurrect them, it's a TPK. TPKs can result in the end of a campaign - like dying in a story, or they can be a temporary setback that resets the progress of the party, like a video game. TPKs can lead to player characters changing who they are role-playing as, or lead to a conversation with the DM about how difficult the battles should be going forward. Or they can just be a fun story about the time that everybody died because they went to the ominous deserted village, ignored multiple red flags, released the goats of a clearly evil woman to annoy her, and then were killed by that witch in a skull-shaped airship (for example)
