Seriously, now that I think about it. I think my last TPK was in the 90s. A group of four 1st level PCs taking on Lost Mines of Fandomdelver (or whatever). Our party:
Tempest cleric (me), rogue, fighter, and wizard.
Taking on the goblin sentries was fairly easy, but the rogue got wounded and I used a cure wounds spell on him. Then we fought the three wolves which where also pretty easy. Wasn't long before the rush of water made the rogue lose his footing and the took damage there, then almost immediately took an arrow from the goblin on the bridge. On my turn I ran up to heal him, using my last spell.
The ability of goblins to hide after they attack? Goddamn that sucks if you're the players ;) Rather than run away (which we should have), I climbed the wall to face the goblin one on one, so it couldn't use the bridge/tunnel for cover (and I had a 19 AC, so I figured I was pretty safe). Oops. I got there, and used one of my tempest cleric powers to kill the goblin after he attacked me, but I took an arrow from the other side of the now destroyed bridge (the fighter and rogue knocked it down)
Then it became official. Party was separated. #1 reason that leads to TPKs. The fighter took off towards the west passage to see if he could link up with me. The rogue was trying to figure out how to take care of the goblin that was to our east. And I made my way down the passage to the west just north of the fighter's, hoping to link up and to get out of line of sight of the goblin to the east
Fighter ran into room with 5 goblins just as I was getting there. But I was wounded. Didn't help that we kept missing all of our attack rolls and the DM rolled two crits on me. So I went down. The wizard showed up the next round. The fighter said to burning hands the whole group, even if it got him too. She did. Two goblins and the fighter went down. Then she died just as the rogue got there. He killed one goblin with a sneak attack but the other got him.
Goblins in 5e are bad ass compared to earlier editions. That's all I got to say about that ;)
And honestly, even if we didn't split the party I don't think we would have made it. Between the hit and run tactics of the goblins and our shitty rolls, they would have taken us out anyway.
