It's a fantasy role-playing game.

DM: You are Mollymauk Tealeaf, a tiefling blood hunter . You are the member of the famous group of adventurers. Previously, While Beau throws wild haymakers, missing with her first hit, Dairon retaliates with only very light, disciplined taps. Beau's next few hits land hard.
DM: "Oh, I create all sorts of means of tending to wounds and loss of stamina. To be honest, a lot of people come around here for performance-enhancing fungus."
Player: I don't know, I feel like you can excite me. I feel like there's something that you have to show that's really exciting. I'm not entirely sure it's all about stamina, I think you've got something-- you did that on purpose. Talk to me like I'm a child, show me something I've never seen before.
DM: Make a persuasion check.
Player: Not with advantage, because I don't have it, but I was so excited.
DM: Nope.
Player: Persuasion check. 19. I'm fishing for drugs, I'm not going to lie. I've been on the road a long time, I don't remember how to do this.
DM: He leans in close to you. "Mind closing the door?"
Player: I skip over to the door and gingerly close it.
DM: "Keep curious company, that's true."
Player: Yes, I do. And we're leaving town today.
DM: "Those are magical words for a man of my business. Are you a fan of skein?"
Player: I don't actually know what that is.
DM: "Well," and he goes back into the back chamber, comes back with a small satchel. There's a finely dried, dusted material on the inside, it has a grayish-blue color to it. He goes, "This is a dried and ground fungus called skein. It's called skein because when you eat it you can see the weave of time."
