Bring it on. Of course, strictly judging by our stats and sheets, it would take about three rounds for Pokey to knock Nails out. I don't think we need a DM for this. Nails might land a couple punches, but he doesn't hit nearly as hard as Pokey. So, let's say three rounds, leaving Nails with a broken nose and buying the beer on the next shoreleave. Of course, Nails is used to getting the crap kicked out of him, so he'd slap Pokey on the back and announce loudly to the bar that his new nickname is Touchy.

PS And Nails doesn't preach. He'll make a standing offer to counsel anyone who needs it, but he's pretty much of the opinion that God helps those who help themself.
