It's a fantasy role-playing game.

DM: You are Scanlan Shorthalt, a gnome bard . You are the member of the famous group of adventurers. Previously, Pike realizes she has seen this place in a vision, as well as a cavern of blue crystal beyond it. They decide to cross it.
DM: Okay, so. (grunts) You get up to the top. I'll put this here as a reminder. But that's where you are right now. Okay, that ends your turn. Scanlan!
Player: Is there anywhere I can stay on the dance floor and get a line of sight with the creature?
DM: I'll say you'll be able to get right up next to Tiberius, right here, and be able to get line of sight.
Player: And can I throw lightning and not hit Tiberius?
DM: No.
Player: (nervous laugh) Okay, then. Then I don't do that. Instead, I will-- I've got nothing to do! Let's say I will try to-- is she-- it's a he.
DM: It's a he.
