It's a fantasy role-playing game.

DM: You are Yasha Nydoorin, a half-angel barbarian . You are the member of the famous group of adventurers. Previously, Fjord manages another kill with Eldritch Blast, leaving two up, including the priest. Caleb takes a hit that breaks his concentration on Molly's Haste, stunning Molly for a round.
DM: And from Jester. Both of you guys, make an attack. With disadvantage for you, Yasha. It's risky on its endeavor, but it's what's going to give it an opportunity to try and get out of this lockdown.
Player: It hits.
DM: What'd you roll?
Player: I rolled a 16 and a 21.
DM: Okay, 16 hits.
Player: That's just a regular attack.
DM: Yeah, regular attack.
