RiGBY the Barbarian is a Fantasy Webcomic written by Lee Leslie.
Frances Rigby wants to be an Adventure Archaeologist, but she's not — while the guys on the archaeological dig are out playing Indiana Jones, she's stuck doing paperwork. Of course, all that changes when she accidentally finds King Nivram's sword and gets transported to another world where dinosaurs are the Horse of a Different Color and gender politics aren't very advanced. As you might have guessed, it turns out that Rigby is The Chosen One destined to defeat the Big Bad; an evil wizard warlord known as the Fate-Maker.
