It's a fantasy role-playing game.

DM: You are Jester Lavorre, a tiefling cleric . You are the member of the famous group of adventurers. Previously, He warns the rest of the Mighty Nein as combat continues. A crew member unfurls the sail, which is plain, attempting to escape the area.
DM: Misses, yeah. You (bash) with your shield. Ricochets off, no issue. That's going to be the end of the Enforcers' turn. Jester, you're up.
Player: Okay. Am I within 60 feet of this guy?
DM: You look like you're-- it's close.
Player: Okay, I'm going to step forward a little bit. There, there... sure.
DM: Okay. (counting) Yeah, he's within 60 feet.
Player: Okay I'm going to cast Hold Person at third level on both him and him.
DM: Ooh! All right. He-- the guy with Marius-- rolls a natural 17. The guy next to Beau rolls a natural three.
Player: Okay, well, he's paralyzed.
DM: (singing) Paralyzed.
