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, A scuffle ensues as they chase down a necromancer, a number of cultists, and some creatures from the Shadowfell. During the fray, Scanlan gets Sprigg back on his feet, and Keyleth kill a couple of the cultists with a Firestorm.
DM: Okay, 27. So that's your first strike. (arrow shot) First one just (impact sound) hits in the side and you see the bolt of energy arc out and the flames burn up the arrow. By the way, the wall behind you is starting to get really warm.
Player: I'm going to move forward. I'm going to actually move toward the corner where Keyleth is.
DM: There's a guy on the ground there.
Player: Oh, there is?
DM: Yeah. So you've got to step over him.
Player: I'm going to step on him.
DM: As you move past, he does get a swing with his shortsword at you. Oh, wow. That's a 25.
Player: Oh, wow. He hits me. Probably because I stepped on him.
DM: I think so. So you take nine points of slashing damage. Just like, (pain sound) as you're walking past.
Player: (pain sound) Fuck. Ah, shit. Okay, I'm going to hit the big hulking thing again.
DM: I realized he had disadvantage, but I rolled another 18, so it's fine.
Player: Oh, okay, well, yeah. I'm going to do the same thing with the big hulking guy.
DM: Okay.
Player: 25 to hit.
DM: 25 hits.
Player: Oh, I didn't add plus ten to the previous one!
DM: Because of the sharpshooter, all right. 39 last time. So go ahead and take a swing at it.
Player: Thanks! 14.
DM: You're up next, Keyleth.
