A group is playing a tabletop role-playing game when David repeatedly casts Heal Wounds on Ranlar's withered legs instead of helping the party escape the charging orcs. The joke is that a healing spell unexpectedly cures Ranlar's lifelong paralysis, revealing that the players' argument about roleplaying a wheelchair-bound character has been overturned by a lucky natural 20. It is sent as a reaction to absurdly literal problem-solving or winning an argument through an unexpectedly powerful technicality.
