I imagine Autumnal Damage would be similar to winter arriving in Bone, but with falling leaves.
- Oh wow I haven't thought about bone in... Over 10 years at least
- Man, I need to read Bone.

Can someone explain?
- Another word for the season of Autumn is Fall.
  Thus, the DM is about to make a pun about Fall damage. The player of the bard notices the incoming pun, takes defensive action via casting a counter-pun spell, and thus prevents a table full of groaning and moaning, and possibly even laughter.
  
  Laughter from a pun like this is a rare thing, a charisma check of 19 with disadvantage.
- They entered into fall, so the bard prevented fall damage by using feather fall.
  
  Technically they also prevented mental damage to the players from the pun
- Fall damage

Because no one else is doing it, I'm going to take the hit. Feather Fall in D&D 5e prevents falling damage, not fall damage. Sorry to ruin the pun, but someone had to.
- You did not successfully ruin the pun, as it has been made clear it does not live or die by the Ing.
  However, you did ruin the mood. I banish you to a lower tier.
  
  Hey, at least 16 people enjoyed my contribution, and I think I got some down votes so more than that. I think I did fine. Also, banishment only lasts for 1 minute, so I'm back.
  
  Pride’s moans of ecstasy already ruined the mood.
- The English language still backs it up. If you fall, you are falling. Simply because there is an ing missing from the text of a thing not said in the joke doesn't mean that the joke doesn't work. On top of that there's the whole part of how the DM is God in a game, not the DMG or the rule book.
  You didn't ruin anything. Just weirdly pedantic for no reason
  
  Weirdly pedantic is fun sometimes, and I'd say especially so with D&D 5e rules that often are very poorly worded.
  Damage taken from being the Fall season would be called "Fall damage" in English though. It is not a verb that you did, it is a noun that is. You are not falling. It is fall. Falling is only from a present tense verb of fall.
  Sorry to be more pedantic.

Leaves fall, everyone dies
- Sadly there are many such cases.
- and brother, i hurt people

DM: Instead of leaves, the forest is covered in what appears to be goose down.
- Fizban? Was he here?

Are we about to roll initiative against grass??
