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, Seeing through Percy's disguise, he suggests that the real Vax join him after the feast begins. Assum then goes into more detail on the reasons for his distrust of the Briarwoods and notes that Lady Briarwood is an accomplished wizard.
DM: Okay. You gather across the ceiling as you go. You watch them head up the stairway to the second floor. They head to the right, down a long hallway, a series of doors. They come up to a door, where there are two guards standing outside. The same guards that led them inside the building, and were riding on horseback.
Player: Could I Hunter's Mark him before they go in their bedroom?
DM: Hunter's Mark is technically a minor spell. You could try it.
Player: I mean they're walking away, when their back is turned, could I do it when they're not paying attention?
DM: I'd say, make a stealth check. Trying to do this subtly at the table.
Player: 20! (cheers)
DM: You Hunter's Mark which one?
