I couldn't have picked a better moment to end a DQ1/DW1 session on if I fucking tried.

Slain the Green Dragon (and earned the title of Dragon Slayer-- wait, that's a different franchise), rescued the Princess (like any good hero would), may or may not have banged her like a snare drum at an Inn (twice), got the King forever in our debt (we're totally getting a kingdom of our own to rule), partially set the stage for the sequel (there's still much left to do), and we got a nice little item out of the whole ordeal that'll probably be quite handy to have around for the rest of the game... but that's for tomorrow.
