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, Back at the bakery, Tary gives the Trickfoots the run of the shop (to the chagrin of you and Pike, who don't entirely trust the newcomers). Everyone retires to get ready for dinner.
DM: As you begin helping Ogden, who, as you grab his arm, he's shaking, and he has his cane as he moves along. His skin is very loose.
Player: Ogden, would you like me to help carry you, or are you all right to walk?
DM: "I can walk under my own power."
Player: Of course you can. Feel free to lean on me, though.
DM: "At the stairs."
Player: All right.
DM: He's still looking off. As soon as you get to the stairs, he gets about two steps and has to stop and breathe, and another two stairs.
Player: I put my arm down so he can put as much weight as he wants.
DM: He leans into it and you eventually help him up the staircase that spirals up to the second floor and eventually lead him to his chambers.
Player: All right, and I start talking to him on the way to his room in Undercommon. And ask him: How long have you guys been on the road?
DM: "Always."
Player: Always?
DM: "By nature, we don't really put down roots." Big old smile as he says roots, darkened, some broken teeth. Heinous smell.
Player: Peanut butter and pork.
DM: Yep.
Player: I couldn't help but overhear you talking to Pike about dreams you've been having.
DM: "Yes. Dreams."
Player: What kind of dreams?
DM: "Terrible premonitions."
Player: Like what?
DM: At this point, he stops and looks up towards you as you're holding his arm, and he reaches up and pulls the glasses shakily from the front of his face and through his small dark brown beady eyes, you see the whites at the sides are bloodshot. He glances up and goes, "The kinds of dreams that end a bloodline."
Player: Well, that sounds terrible.
DM: "We're trying to find a way to stop it."
Player: Well, that's good. I would like to stop it, as well. We all love Pike very much.
DM: "Good. Then we came at the right time."
Player: Can I insight check him?
DM: Go for it.
