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, Grog then takes the first bead of divinity -- the one from Ioun-- smashes it on the Anvil, and folds the powdered remains into the first ingot. With aid from Keyleth and Scanlan in the form of spells and inspiration, he does the same with the bead from Pelor, but has trouble with the one from the Raven Queen.
DM: So. Let's see here. Grog, Percival. You head to the original chamber before this. You find the tongs and some of the metallic ingot-based molds. You take in pieces of platinum equal to the amounts you guys had pulled up before. How much was it?
Player: 300 platinum each.
DM: That was for the face. For the trammels.
Player: Oh. Would those little pyramids work to make the trammels? Or it needs more?
DM: Well, no. There's other molds there with the smelting device.
Player: I got 4,920 platinum.
DM: If I recall, it was 1,500 platinum per piece, I believe.
