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, They  looked above and  they  saw what looked like the entrance to a cavern where at least the dragon seems to fly in and out of. It's a ways up the mountain, and there's a smaller cavern towards the base of the mountain.
DM: As Grog mentions this, you guys have moved past most of the village, and you've gone towards the back of this large chamber, and you do see what appears to be a tunnel that ascends upwards, deeper into the mountain proper. See, did it again. It's made me all self-conscious. But the entrance is entirely frozen. There is a wall of solid ice between yourselves and the continuation of this tunnel.
Player: (Grog voice) How thick is it?
DM: It's hard to see how thick it is from this side.
Player: (Grog voice) Can Grog run at it and try to bash it really fast?
DM: So as you guys step up, Grog runs ahead of the rest of the giants and goes as hard as he can towards this.  So swinging with the axe towards the ice. Go ahead and make an attack roll.
Player: It's a hammer, which I feel would be better against ice.
DM: This giant flaming warhammer from King Murghol.
