He’s pretty obviously a coward. He’s shrunk from anything even approaching a fair fight, and brawling with Robspierre wouldn’t only be suicidal on its own, it would draw attention to him in a highly public setting that includes the extremely dangerous princess he hopes to assassinate and previously failed to depose. He’d frankly be lucky if he died at Robspierre’s hand at that point, because Princess would make it much worse.
I suspect he’s extremely uncomfortable with that word “might” (the version that’s pronounced like there’s an N in there somewhere…he probably loves the other kind of might, since it doubtless makes right in his eyes).
Not to mention that there is a rather familiar looking rust monster and gelatinous cube very near said barbarian…
Sir Malevolus may not have the highest INT, but he has definitely shown a decent WIS! http://rustyandco.com/comic/level-5-19/
I beg to differ, Good Sirs (& Roxy).
If it’s “just like her”, then it’s “…the point goes right to the heart”.
This is the girl whose battle-cry screams, “Less Morality – More Mortality!”
Her Highness is a rocker & rockers never die of liver failure. They build it up like a weight lifter builds up muscle. If I could only have cloned Keith Richard’s or Ozzy’s liver 50 years ago….

One wonders if she’s hungover and (possibly) less good in a fight — or just slouching.
Princess seems like she probably gets bonuses from being hungover.
yeah, that would be plausible. She’d find it annoying.
My guess would be that she is some sort of drunken fist maybe prestiged as a drunken master, which also explains the chaotic approach to things.
Love the cone hat with beverage holders.
Holy damn, do I want to see more Princess in this comic. X)
Methinks the Blackguard might be afraid of the Barbarian. There’s a sweat drop on Sir Malevolus’ face in the last panel he’s in.

I don’t know, he’s backed away from fights that would go heavily against him. When has he backed down from a fight he might actually be able to win?

I’d be sweating too, if that look in Robspierre’s eye was directed my way
Yeah, it’s the perfect example of “If looks could kill” and that’s with one eye. Imagine it with both eyes!!!!
*ding* Blackguard sees Barbarian!
*ding* Blackguard thinks Barbarian can take him!

Can you blame him? Petey looks like he could break the Blackguard’s back over his knee like Bane did to the Batman.
Rusty still looks like he’s drooling
There is spinning candy all over the playing field.
Probably under it as well
From the heart? More like from the gut!
Oh, you’re a gasser, alright.

Just bring in Cube.
They don’t need to assassinate the princess. They should just wait for her to die of liver disease.
Are you kidding? she lives off of pure spite, like those older relative that everyone has. Liver’s got nothin’ on her.

If she’s got someone who knows Cure Lung Disease, she’s probably got Cure Liver Disease lined up, too.
You know, it has occurred to me that we may be reading the last panels wrong. Perhaps that IS the national anthem.
Coming back from the next comic, I just noticed…a grand total of 0 players are wearing shoes. So, why was the shoe size question even asked?
Regulations, natch.
