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, Two larger, ogre-like creatures come storming out. Scanlan, uncharacteristically serious, says  I don't like goblins.
DM: Yeah, it's fine. Then we have Scanlan. I'll get you guys in placement here, as your bear is currently back at the inn.
Player: He is still?
DM: Unless you wanted to bring him along.
Player: Well, I thought I brought him. I should have mentioned that.
DM: All right, we'll say you brought him along. That's fine.
Player: I'm sorry, I should have emphasized that more.
DM: That's all right. Those of you going first, we're going to keep you on the field here.
Player: Oh god.
DM: A number of goblins that are currently held over here.
