The Round Tea Party event art, Slay the Spire 2

The Round Tea Party

You find an invitation for a “Sir Galalot” to a tea party and decide to show up in his stead.

Upon entering an unassuming rotunda, you find yourself in the midst of commanders, generals, warlords, and mercenaries having... tea?
The gigantic knight donning a golden crown speaks.

“Thou art late for Tea?!”
You grab a teacup and down it one go.
It's SCALDING HOT but you don't change your expression. The patrons are stunned by your lack of self preservation.

“We meant no offense, Sir Galalot. our sincerest apologies.”

You enjoy some tea and crumpets, unaware of the poison you've ingested.
You jump onto the table and kick the warlord knight in the face!
The knight lets out a haunting shriek and keels over.

*everyone gasps*
The patrons stare wide-eyed at the corpse of one of their regulars... then bursts into applause!?

“We were wondering how to rid of Sir Wygore, incredible work!”

They dump out your poisoned tea and you discuss tactics and secrets all night. A most excellent tea party.

Which option to take

Enjoy the tea only if you arrive badly hurt with several fights still ahead.

Pick a Fight

Our pick
HP−11RelicRandom
  • Pick a Fight. A relic for 11 HP is a bargain, and a full heal is rarely worth a tax that adds up to 4 HP every fight for the rest of Glory.

How it plays

  • Enjoy Your Tea hands over Royal Poison and heals you to full.
  • The poison costs 4 HP at the start of every combat for the rest of the run, unblockable.
  • Pick a Fight goes to a short scene and a Continue button; pressing it costs 11 HP that ignores Block and powers and gives one relic from the front of the run's relic bag.
