It's a fantasy role-playing game.

DM: You are Beauregard Lionett called Beau, a human monk . You are the member of the famous group of adventurers. Previously, Caduceus and Shakäste investigate the back chambers, whch are holding chained, gagged humanoid figures. Lorenzo appears and casts Cone of Cold, knocking out you and Shakäste, and wounding Keg and Caduceus.
DM: There goes Nott. That brings us to Beau! What are you doing? You come to consciousness. You're prone. You have to use half your movement to get up.
Player: I get up. Still have 20 feet of movement left. Can I make it to Lorenzo?
DM: (counting)
Player: God, I'm so mad. How far away am I?
DM: You are ten feet from Lorenzo.
Player: God, that sucks! I'm going to use a ki point to get there. (grunts) Step of the Wind. Hope that was a good call. I'm going to unleash on him, because I'm fucking pissed. First attack. Uh-huh! Yep! 24. [cheering]
DM: Roll damage.
Player: All the rage and fury. And-- I'm going to spend my last ki point to do Stunning Strike.
DM: I'm going to use my little Shapeways dice for this one. That's a plus six constitution modifier on this one, but it rolled a natural four. [cheering]
