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, Grog goes into a rage and smashes the horror next to him with the warhammer. Scanlan approaches the nearby creature and casts Thunderwave to knock it back, but it easily shrugs off the attack and slashes Scanlan in retaliation as the other horror slashes at Grog, all the attacks hitting their intended targets.
DM: So you take-- that's seven plus 11 points of slashing damage. (whoosh) As it goes to strike a second time, you see the second blow coming and just duck out of the way. That ends their go. Next up is Keyleth.
Player: So there are two guys alive right now?
DM: Correct, yes.
Player: One's on Scanlan.
DM: One's on Grog. The one on Grog is looking a little rough. The one near Scanlan's doing okay.
Player: How's Cassandra looking next to me?
DM: She's fine. There's no blood. There's nothing; the wound is gone entirely. But other than that, she looks fine.
Player: Looks fine. Okay, I've got my Grasping Vine still up. I'm going to wrap it around the guy that's close to Scanlan and just yank him off of Scanlan.
DM: Okay. This pulls him over Scanlan's form and slams him right next to Cassandra.
Player: Okay, and then I will just go, oh! And pop him with my staff.
DM: Go for it.
