It's a fantasy role-playing game.

DM: You are Caleb Widogast, a human wizard . You are the member of the famous group of adventurers. Previously,  However, upon noticing that some of the buildings on the eastern side of town began to light up with what appeared to be flame, you began to approach rather rapidly, seeing members of the city's citizens fleeing, screaming, and apparently there seemed to be some sort of attack. Upon going into the town, you realized that a number of these buildings were being set fire by an incursion of Gnolls.
DM: Nice. As soon as you empty those out, you get back and go into your defensive position, preparing for any sort of assault. Caleb?
Player: The effect of that hasn't taken place yet, correct?
DM: The ball bearings, in this moment, are now clattering down into the ground.
Player: Did Fjord hit one successfully?
DM: He did, yes.
Player: That same one? I am just going to Fire Bolt it. From yeah, yeah.
DM: Roll for an attack.
Player: Fire Bolt. That is an attack range guy, plus six that is a 15 to hit.
DM: That hits, just barely.
Player: The damage is seven.
DM: Seven points of damage. The one that you had hexed suddenly goes up into flames with a (dying scream) and falls back onto the ground.
Player: I'll use my movement to back up about 15 feet just outside of the chamber.
DM: You are just there. As the flash of red light arcs from his finger and lights up the path before it impacts and kills the gnoll, Caleb then steps back into the shadows, trying to get out of the way. Nott?
