GM: The earth elementals are charging the army of air elementals at this moment. You have two rounds to act.
Fighter: Well, we're on the Elemental Plane of Air, so they'll be weakened. Cleric-
GM: Whoa, whoa, whoa. You don't know that you're on that plane.
Fighter: Uh... that's sort of where we've been this whole campaign.
GM: Make a Knowledge (the planes) check.
Fighter: I have no ranks.
Wizard: Let me. *roll* 11.
GM: Nope. None of you have any idea where you are.
And, of course, you don't even know when you're on the Material Plane. That's right.
