It's a fantasy role-playing game.

DM: You are Fjord, a half-orc warlock . You are the member of the famous group of adventurers. Previously, Yasha grapples him, and you tells him to surrender, which he does. They recover the package he was guarding: a beautiful wooden box.
DM: As you move around the corner, in a flash, you hear (grunting). You see this quick arc of steel as suddenly, from around the corner, a fairly well-armed man with sun-darkened skin, short hair pulled into a tight top-knot or a bun of some kind, holding a longsword two-handed, swings at you, three strikes. That is 24 to hit.
Player: Hits.
DM: That is 18 to hit.
Player: Hits.
DM: And, ooh, that is a 26 to hit.
Player: Misses.
DM: Three hits there. That is 16 points of slashing damage, 13 points of slashing damage, and, oh, 18 points of slashing damage.
