EVERYONE
Merry Christmas ! I want to grant you some Xmas gifts, so
1. Everyone - if you don't have an inspiration yet, mark you have. DM's gift.
2. Read the spoiler below

This could be a surprise to those who are used to play 5e the easy way - when any combat you get involved in is "balanced" which means "PC has always the upper hand". Not it ToA. In this module
I recommend you try to role-play in a way for me to decide you have surprised the enemy if you get into a fight with him (the way your conversation is developing he already ready for the fight). That's the only shot your zero XP wanna be adventurers have against the best martial artist in the city.
