It's a fantasy role-playing game.

DM: You are  Kashaw Vesh, a human cleric . You are the member of the famous group of adventurers. Previously, Being the adventurers they are, they took it upon themselves to leap out into the forest of the Vesper Timberland, found and hunted down this hydra, fought it, and upon slaying it discovered that there was another group also hunting this hydra. An actually sanctioned group, and hunting this hydra is considered illegal in Vasselheim unless you had actually been contracted to do so.
DM: All right. As you guys step across the way. It's about a block up. One of them is partially inside the alley between two of the buildings. You can see he has one hand up on the wall and the other down. One of them is relieving himself on the side of the building, while the other is keeping watch, arms crossed, looking out across the road. The one that's immediately present, or before you, you can see is human, a scruffy brown beard around the edge of the chin. The hair itself is cut very short. A little heavier in appearance. A little muscle, a little layer of winter padding, but the black leather armor definitely gives you the appearance of somebody who is a Bastion of the Raven Queen. As you approach, the hooded half-elf, the dwarf walking with the giant axe, and the bumbling dragonborn, the human cleric with a very angry disposition, and the awkward half-elf druid stepping in pace with him. Gives you all a cursory look and immediately puts a hand to his side where you can see that there is a rapier currently sheathed. "Aye, you walk with purpose."
Player: We walk for the Guild.
DM: "Slayer's Take it is?"
Player: It is.
DM: "What business have you on this side of town, then? Aren't you supposed to be out past the walls killing creatures and such?"
Player: Our business takes us where our business takes us. Our business brings us here today.
DM: "All right, then what's your business?"
Player: You might be having some trouble?
DM: "Aye."
Player: What's causing you trouble and what's going to get us out of here might be the same thing.
DM: The gentleman to the left of him finishes shaking off the rest of his alleyway journey.
