It's a fantasy role-playing game.

DM: You are Nott the Brave, a goblin rogue . You are the member of the famous group of adventurers. Previously, you decided to put her and Jester's brainchild  Fluffernutter  to the test. She threw the keg of black powder behind her while running.
DM: Got you, okay. So the two hit, so roll damage. The damage is going to be important here, because it is a waterlogged container of black powder and may not be enough to truly ignite or cause an explosion here, or burn through the barrel. We'll see.
Player: But the barrel you said was mostly intact?
DM: It's intact yeah, but it's wet.
Player: Yeah, but what about inside?
DM: It's soaked through a little bit.
Player: Barrels are waterproof, you keep beer in them.
DM: This isn't a beer barrel.
