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, She lands a blow with the Mace of Disruption, aided by her Guided Strike, and its powers strike supernatural fear into Sylas's heart. you'ahlia follows this up with another holy arrow.
DM: 19 damage, all right. As the arrows (thud, thud), one hits the armor and streaks off and shatters against the green glass stonework of the top of the ziggurat. The second one strikes him in the back of the neck. You see a blast of radiant energy crosses his throat. He reaches up and tries to grab for the arrow, but the arrow itself is disintegrated by the blast of holy energy, leaving a gaping wound in the back of his neck. He's still standing, but you can see his form is now falling apart. Parts of ash are beginning to pour off his flesh. He's looking really rough. All right. That finishes Vex's turn. Unless you want to move? Stay where you are?
Player: I'm afraid my flying potion's going to start to wear off soon, so I'm going to move. Is there a roof? On that middle compound building?
DM: From what you can see, no. It is open.
Player: Oh, really?
DM: Yeah.
Player: Can I land on top of the pillar?
DM: The pillar holds a slight overhang, so you can land on top of the overhang if you want.
Player: Yeah!
DM: All right, so you land on top of the overhang, stopping there. Which blocks all view from beneath this line, there, but--
Player: But I can still see--
DM: You could peek around if you want.
Player: Yeah, okay.
DM: Okay. Percy, you're up.
