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, They ask Marius about what he was doing with the ship. Marius was not planning to go on the ship.
DM: "I wasn't headed anywhere. I was going to give back their money and send them off on their way, and you attacked, and they weren't going to let me stay behind, I guess."
Player: Right. But now we've changed your plans, yes? You're with us?
DM: "Apparently!"
Player: And Avantika needs the sphere, correct?
DM: "Well, I don't have it!"
Player: No, but I do. Do you know where she is? I'll reach behind my back and use Minor Image again and show the sphere.
DM: Right. "I don't really-- I was just hired to pass on a letter and wait for some sort of an arrival of that, and then it never came, and then I asked for an extension in case it was just taking its time to get there. And then, never showed up. So I had to return the money, unfortunately. But you know, I like keeping a reputation as a reliable messenger."
Player: Who were you going to give this to?
DM: "I was going to give it to-- what's his name, Captain Jawgrasp. Big fella, you cut the fuck out of and kicked him off the side of the docks."
