It's a fantasy role-playing game.

DM: You are Caleb Widogast, a human wizard . You are the member of the famous group of adventurers. Previously, Vera reveals herself to be a formidable mage, causing an Ice Storm which slows Nott, Caduceus, and Yasha and casting Mass Suggestion on the Guards to arrest them. Fjord, seeing the tide turning, summons a demon onto the ship to distract the crew while rushing himself to the aid of you.
DM: You wake up, come to consciousness on the ground. Fjord is getting you up. You look over your shoulder, and you can see there's a whole shit ton of guards in the area that are subduing Yasha. Caduceus seems to have put his hands up.
Player: What is my distance from the boat?
DM: From the boat? From now, you'd be about 160 feet.
Player: 160 feet? If I got to my feet, that's half my movement.
DM: Correct.
Player: If I moved ten feet I'd be within 150 feet, correct? Yeah?
DM: Yeah.
