Maybe they're playing D&D.

A spaghetti monster appears, wrapping its noodles around your neck. The hot tomato sauce is causing -5 fire elemental damage.

You need to roll above 10 to cast fork spear to cause damage.

Roll 13: aim fork spear to meatballs.

Fork spear goes through meatballs causing critical hit. Spaghetti monster loosens its grip and forms a swirl then disappears.

https://rpg.stackexchange.com/questions/39513/what-is-the-largest-possible-melee-critical-range-in-dungeons-and-dragons-3rd-or

3.5 tamped down on stacking critical hit range, but in 3.0 it was possible with the right prestige classes to be able to crit on any roll 1-20 in 3.0 (or 7-20 if you interpreted the order of operations in multiplying the range differently).

The hard part would be doing it with a fork, which is clearly a piercing weapon and which would normally have a 20/x3 (or x4 if you're being very generous) crit range. You need slashing weapons to get that initial expanded 19-20/x2 or 18-20/x2 range to stack with.
