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, Percy offers to show Tary his library at some point, and does show off the mechanism of Bad News. Tary, remembering his fee, writes Vox Machina a check for 16,000 gold (50,000 originally, minus expenses).
DM: I could use the distraction, to be honest. You'll be fine, I mean, it's all tying up loose ends, and I'm more needed helping people that really need what I can do right now.
Player: I understand.
DM: It won't be long, they're gathering a lot of great healers. I know Keeper Yennen's coming along--
Player: Oh, good.
DM: -- and we're gonna be doing some people some real good.
Player: All right.
DM: Might even bring the love of my Lady to a few people. Her light can definitely heal a lot of wounds and spirits, so.
Player: All right. I give her a big hug, and I whisper in her ear. You don't always have to put on a brave face, dear.
DM: She pulls back from you and kind of pats you on the side of your face. "Yeah, I do." And she smiles and turns around and puts her hand out, and Allura takes her hand. "Are we ready?"
