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, He, Grog, you, and Scanlan go through it to Kraghammer. They emerge inside the Thunderbrand estate and are met by a grumpy Lord Thunderbrand, who had stayed up all night waiting for them.
DM: Nostoc also looks at you and goes, "And while I respect your memory, a dwarf's mind is like a trap that you can't escape. I believe the agreed upon price was 25,000 gold pieces."
Player: Oh it was? That is so weird, I remember 30.
DM: "I don't even know what you fought. If you're going to collect your money, tell me what the hell you freaking killed."
Player: Mind flayers! A beholder! Have you heard of a beholder?
DM: "You fought a beholder?"
Player: We fought a fucking beholder.
DM: "Really? And you're all still alive?"
