It's a fantasy role-playing game.

DM: You are Scanlan Shorthalt, a gnome bard . You are the member of the famous group of adventurers. Previously, The frost worm bites Keyleth, who casts Blight as payback and heals herself. Vax asks Pike for healing, then hits the visible worm.
DM: So Kent Plucker approaches you as you approach and goes like, "Scanlan. Good thing you're here. I think we may need your silvered tongue to go ahead and help us out in this endeavor. Dr. Dranzel's inside; he's been arguing with the warden for quite some time. We're trying to get Kaylie out."
Player: What happened? Why is she in jail?
DM: "She got in a bit of a bar fight last night, it seems. Messed up quite a few gentlemen and all of them are arrested and being held inside. They're wanting a bit of change to do the damages and pay for the fine of whatever else she's done.

Player: What's the fine?
DM: "I don't know. We didn't go in as a full group. The guards wouldn't let us."
Player: Was she injured in any way?
DM: "I haven't seen her. You'll have to go inside to find out."
Player: All right. Thank you. You won't be needed here anymore. You guys can leave.
DM: They all look at each other. "If it's fine by you, we're going to wait for Dr. Dranzel."
