It's a fantasy role-playing game.

DM: You are Grog Strongjaw, a goliath barbarian . You are the member of the famous group of adventurers. Previously, The damage quickly reverts them out of their eel forms. The fight comes down to simply destroying as many of the tentacles as they can, hoping this will allow them to get away.

DM: All right, your movement is 50, and you've not used Alter Self, right?
Player: No, 'cause I don't have that!
DM: Yes, that's--
