It's a fantasy role-playing game.

DM: You are Vax Vax'ildan, a half-elf rogue . You are the member of the famous group of adventurers. Previously, The spiraling tower of black iron and copper. He throws a square, metal icon.
DM: The highest number between the three rolls. But you can fold if you want to. This usually is done in a betting type circumstance, so we'll see how things go from here. Anyway, finishes shuffling. Tosses you a series of cards. Takes a couple cards for herself. Sets the deck aside, right in front of her. The two guards in the back, by the way, we hear them stepping away and retrieve their weapons, and head back behind you guys. Just keeping them at their sides.
Player: So in this room, let's say you're her, and we're all where we are, and the giants are behind the group, is that about right?
DM: Yes.
Player: And how much room is there behind her and the wall?
DM: Maybe 15 feet, 20 feet.
Player: I'm going to slowly tippie-toe around the side of the wall, carefully avoiding giants. I want to stand not directly behind her, but off at an angle.
DM: Make a stealth check.
Player: 30.
DM: Okay. You both take a look at your hands. Go ahead and roll a d8. Okay.
