>The king commands your party put on a performance to entertain him. He is known to punish those who disobey or bore him extremely severely.
How does your party obey this task? Keep in mind that in this world of magic, adventure, and monsters, he's in charge because he's far too powerful for mere common adventurers to harm.

No, it isn't. Your posting style is distinct enough to be recognisable.

The local lord's army boasts thousands of men-at-arms in full harness and experienced scouts and trackers. Each is a battle-tested veteran of years of war.
What makes your party of "adventurers" so arrogant as to think themselves more capable of defending the fief than even a diminutive fraction of these forces? A "dungeon," you say? The local lord can send a score of these loyal men, a mere drop in the pond, and they will brute force this "dungeon" with ease. Many are trained to battle on foot.

Our games are about killing fun exotic things in strange locations in creative ways.
While we haven't killed a whole kingdom we are certainty game to try.
I mean a few months ago we ambushed Death and beat the shit out of him to get a revival of a NPC we liked.
Some dumbass with a crown can't stop us.

By the Medieval era, most kings come to power via birth and inheritance, not martial prowess. They stay in power due to bureaucratic inertia and the feudal power structure wanting to keep the status quo intact out of their own selfish interests. It is very likely that the King as an individual is a physically & magically normal/weak person, while his INT can either be very high (backstabbing schemer) or low (inbred retard figurehead). Since he is treating potentially violent murderhobos like court jesters, I am leaning towards the latter.
So, I'll humor him and get our mage to do simple party tricks and then start formenting rebellion in his Kingdom out of spite by financing one of his Dukes with my hoard of gold. Once the rebellion starts, I leave the Kingdom, laughing my ass off.
