In True Grit (the original version, not the recent remake that I haven't seen yet), there's a scene where Rooster Cogburn (John Wayne) confronts Ned Pepper and yells out "Fill your hands you sonofab*tch!" which means draw your guns so I can kill you in a fair fight. That's kind of what I was going for in that last panel.
See you on Friday!

All right a tavern fight and they haven’t been in town for more than 5 minutes.
They haven’t been in the Tavern for more than a few seconds!
Bah, why kill him? Death happens only once (for most npcs), crippling someone can last a lifetime.
Makes me suddenly worry whether or not ‘beer stein’ is an orccish racial weapon proficiency….
Becky is definitely going to be another Keladry–protector of the small, and face hungry… (Fans of Tamora Pierce’s world of Tortall can catch the reference)
but you can’t have a good tavern fight unless yer both drunk
Thanks Infamous and Mongoose you have just jump started the creation of a new Character for an upcoming D&D game I will be playing [pending DM approval ofcourse],..a Half-Orc Monk [was a foundling raised in Monastery] specializing in “found weapons” [like Tankards] who will train as a Drunken Master Prestige class [one of their abilities is to “insta-drunk” to get into the right fighting mindset]. And of course since I am posting this anyone can feel free to take the idea,…lol. As to the whole Becky thing in the strip,… never back a “mommy” into a corner who is protecting their “child” [and yes pet owners definitely count for this]
Why not? Minmax has ‘furniture’ as a weapon proficiency…. ‘found weapons’ should be perfectly plausible too.
Don’t know about 4th ed but I think it was Improvised Weapons as a feat in 3 /3.5 ed.
I love that film 🙂
Becky’s a dwarf? I didn’t realize that due to the lack of beard.
Its not a true bar brawl till someone gets a chair broken over them! Although, I could see Dur not even flinching at that. Maybe Becky too.
And falls under the Brawling skill in the old Iron Crown gaming systems. Get ranks in Brawling, and the world’s your arsenal!
