It's a fantasy role-playing game.

DM: You are Grog Strongjaw, a goliath barbarian . You are the member of the famous group of adventurers. Previously, The beast falls with a gurgling yelp, dead and limp. The orcs then retaliate against you, but the blows are easily taken as you shrugs them off.
DM: Let's see. First and foremost, the two guys that are-- in that motion, the two orcs that you just slammed rear back and then retaliate very heavily against you. They both have advantage because they have you flanked. That'll be 22.
Player: Hits.
DM: And a 14.
Player: Misses.
DM: Yes. All right. So the one with the buckler and what looks like a longsword strikes you for eight points of slashing damage, of which you take four.
Player: Great.
DM: That ends their turn. The one orc that's overtop of you, Lyra, goes (rggh!) and swings in a wide arc down towards you. That's going to be a 14.
