It's a fantasy role-playing game.

DM: You are Percival de Rolo, a human gunslinger . You are the member of the famous group of adventurers. Previously, Pike realizes she has seen this place in a vision, as well as a cavern of blue crystal beyond it. They decide to cross it.
DM: 13. Okay! You can decide whether or not you want to attempt to ascend this or make any attacks this turn, because right now it's going to take your full round to get to the top of this. It's a very thin, jagged, almost vertical wall you're trying to climb up and hold onto.
Player: How far away am I from the stones? From the platform?
DM: From the platform here?
Player: From something I can stand on that's not sand.
DM: You're probably about 35 feet.
Player: So I could make it in a run?
DM: You could make it in a run, yeah.
Player: All right. I mean, in a standard movement action?
DM: No. You'd almost make it.
