Add Health and Mana potions (typically alcohol). This also reminds me of AFK Tavern in Washington state: http://www.afktavern.com/

Maybe some sort of blended drink called "Icathian SurpriseKogMaw". (LAME, I KNOW T_T) Guaranteed to have explosive flavor.

"Contributions": An assortment of deep fried seafoods, or forest animals, served marinaded, maybe with something like bar-b-que sauce. (Appetizers)

I'm guessing it's terrible. XD.
