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, Scanlan then inspires Grog, the goliath seeing the gnome's ass as two round globes of victory. Scanlan then backs away out of sight to avoid getting shot by arrows.
DM: Okay, that reduces to eight. All the arrows strike true, thump-thump-thump, but still each one is only piercing the flesh so far, he's generally so dense in his musculature, each impact is not having the same satisfying (impact) sound you're used to. But that ends your held action and it is now your turn.
Player: Oh, but I get another attack, because that's just one attack.
DM: Oh right, that was the sky sentinel, go for it. Take a second attack.
Player: My second attack, I'm going to take at Greenbeard, and I'm going to shoot through the flaming bowstring.
DM: Okay.
Player: 17 plus 12 probably hits? 17 plus 12?
DM: Yeah, that's going to hit.
Player: Okay. Gah! 14 on that one.
DM: 14, okay. 14 damage to him. Greenbeard is currently stuck there in place, the arrow sinks into his robe and you don't even see the impact, it absorbs into the cloth and he goes, ah, and you hear the escaping air from the impact but he can't actually move.
