If that’s it then I did get it, but it still feels like I’m missing something.
Maybe this one just doesn’t hit for me :)
It's because in America, the word for autumn is fall.
Also know that, as I live there :)
I think this wordplay just doesn’t hit for me. That’s fine.
You’re not alone, it’s a pretty bad pun.
Puns should be graded on a circular scale. The worst puns are the best puns
Because they just stepped into fall, the party was going to take fall damage. Feather fall prevents fall damage.
Maybe it would help to know that the Fey are known to delight in wordplay based magical trickery (e.g. the old "Can I have your name?" bit). It's not just that the pun exists, but that it's not the DM just making them roll for "fall" damage because he thinks it's funny, it's the sort of thing that canonically happens in the Feywild.
