It's a fantasy role-playing game.

DM: You are Grog Strongjaw, a goliath barbarian . You are the member of the famous group of adventurers. Previously, you steps up onto the ledge of the tower, attaches the Chain of Returning to his axe, and throws it towards the pit fiend. The axe embeds itself in his back.
DM: 29 points of damage. The axe jams and embeds itself into the back. The pit fiend is like (snarling). The voice once again emanates from its telepathic push into your respective brains in the vicinity. "You have angered the city guard. You have no victory now."
Player: Well, I'm not going to do any good up here. I still have my movement, right? I'm going to try some stupid shit. Since the axe is in his back, can I Indiana Jones down to the ground? (singing Indiana Jones theme song) Just, (yelling) trying to get down to the ground or underneath him. I may hit the ground, but maybe it will be slowed by the--?
DM: I need you to roll an acrobatics check to land this.
Player: I understand.
DM: You are heavy, and the chain itself is going to come loose as you come down, so roll an acrobatics check.
Player: Not great. Nine.
DM: You swing, and you land. You stumble. You roll and land straight into the lava.
