It's a fantasy role-playing game.

DM: You are Keyleth, a half-elf druid . You are the member of the famous group of adventurers. Previously, They stumbled upon a small hive of basilisks that surrounded an obelisk of Ioun, which gave them their first clue as to the location where this sphinx could be found. They battled the basilisks, destroyed their underground hive, or at least the exit from it, via Fireballs and Stone Walls and other such endeavors.
DM: The other large orc, the larger one with its axe is going to take two attacks with its greataxe against you. That is a 21 to hit and an 18 to hit.
Player: Wait, I'm getting attacked by someone else, too?
DM: Yeah, the other large orc there.
Player: Yeah, both of those hit.
DM: All right. You take 24 points of slashing damage as both of the greataxe blows come on from the other side, you're being--
Player: 24?
DM: --chiseled down now. Yes. That's going to end their turn. That brings us to Scanlan.
