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, She asks if he can get any of their items through the bars. He reaches his claws through as far as he can, but everything is still about a foot out of his reach.
DM: You can see that the fur is beginning to send off smoke smoke and burn against the bars as he's leaning against them.
Player: Okay, back away. Maybe you can try and just break through these manacles. Can you do that?
DM: Reaches up and grabs the one around your ankle and tugs, and you see it begin to singe the outside of his tongue. And he's pulling. Make a strength check.
Player: Okay. Okay. Okay. 17?
DM: 17. The chain on one of your ankles begins to bend. It's not quite-- doesn't fully break. But you can see that it's getting some headway.
Player: I want to pull my leg at the same time and see if I can help him out at all.
DM: Make a strength check as well.
Player: Should've had him do this to Grog. Okay.  I suck at strength checks. Okay. 15.
DM: 15? Okay. Between both Trinket and you pulling, you do manage to get one of the chains to (snapping sound), and you get one ankle free.
