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, Out in the hall, as Trinket is dragging Ripley, the doctor breaks free of Trinket's jaws and reaches into her pocket. She throws a stone down onto the ground, the stone detonating and releasing a fog-like substance.
DM: You hit it, then yeah. With the creature looming there, you manage to bend it back into place. You get it aligned as best as you can. That's your action, though.
Player: If that had been a slightly bigger fuck-up, that would have been-- oh god! Okay.
DM: So your gun's functional, but that's your action.
Player: I'm going to use an action surge anyway, so it doesn't matter.
DM: Yes, you are. Okay.
Player: I'm going to break off from this guy, and I'm going to rush towards Professor.
DM: Okay, gets an attack of opportunity on you.
Player: Go ahead. Don't care.
DM: Guy rolls a 14.
Player: Yeah.
DM: So you just (whoosh) duck under it instinctually. It comes toward you. Eyes forward, you duck underneath the blade.
Player: I push him in the face. I don't care.
DM: Okay, you get right up to there, and you can see Anders backing away as you approach.
Player: I'm going to unload in him.
DM: Go for it.
Player: That's 21 to hit.
DM: That hits.
Player: That's 25 to hit.
DM: That hits.
