It's a fantasy role-playing game.

DM: You are Vex Vex'ahlia, a half-elf ranger . 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: Total of 11 points of damage. Or ten, you're right. From the bear. Bear attacking you, actually no, first the orc attacking Trinket now.
Player: No!
DM: With advantage.
Player: No!
DM: Oh man, that's a 16 even with advantage.
Player: Ha!
DM: Just slamming a greataxe over Trinket's armor, Trinket--
Player: Trinket's yawning.
DM: Bear against you, Keyleth, that's going to be a natural 20 with the bite.
