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, Percy says he'll just have to live with that and shoots. Percy fires and Vax throws a dagger, both passing through Ripley's form.
DM: The goliath probably took some damage, too. (chuckles) Trinket also takes the damage, by the way. Roll a reflex save.
Player: Trinket was on the ground, wasn't he?
DM: Yep.
Player: Dexterity. 21 for Trinket.
DM: Grog is not blasted prone. Managed to catch himself.
Player: 21.
DM: 21. Trinket takes 32 points of fire damage.
Player: Good, because if he had taken the full thing, he would have been unconscious.
DM: As the ringing subsides from the blast, you all were thrown dozens of feet from your current placement, most of you onto your back aside from you, Vax, and you, Grog. Actually, Trinket would have caught himself as well. You now see a giant crater in the ground with rock and rubble and shards of glass tossed around you. The trees in the center have been blasted out, and you can see a number of broken trunks and roots curved up with little bits of fire and flame burning off their edge, what little bit of burnable material still remained on some of the living trees. The smell of heavy gunpowder recently burned sits in the air as the giant cloud of smoke rises up in the center of the jungle. At this point in time, the goliath has stepped forward from the brush, as well as two other figures off to the side wielding long-barreled rifle-like weapons. There are a few other figures on this side, as well.
