The dragon is dead, what now?

Will this dragon have a crown of gold?

Go find another dragon and kill it.

Enthrall it

If by "crown" you mean "throne-hoard-pool" then yes.

flay a stripe of its skin, braid it in my hair
same as with every other worthy kill

BBQ! STEAKS! RIBS!

SOMEONE GET SOME VEGGIES GOING

Bath in his fresh blood to become stronger

We're going to party.

Find the recently widowed/orphaned dragoness to make a pass at

Murderhobos dont smell because they are hobos. They smell because they put rotting flesh in their hair.

Salt/smoke the meat before it spoils.
Keep the blood to make blood sausages.

Bring it back to life it and demand marriage to it as payment

Dreadlocks are disgusting and unhygienic, so I considered them fitting gimmick for a barbarian.

find any eggs, raise its children as your own, murder and/or conquer the land

fuck man you gonna die that way, can you really fight two dragons in a row?

I fuck it.

Then I skin it, slice it's head off to present to someone for a reward/bragging rights, and also eat its heart to absorb its strength.

Cut out its organs and implant them into my own body.

>eat its heart, absorb its power
I always wondered where that trope came from

Everyone's hungry after the fight, I hope!

DRAGON BOIL!

Actual mythology from a range of cultures and time periods

Think about it, the idea that consuming something should imbue you with its qualities makes intuitive sense if you don't know how digestion works, and the heart is the most important part of any being so its properties should be concentrated there.

Not sure if retard or sarcasm or bait pretending to be a retard

The Saga of the Volsungs brah
Dragon hearts were the whey of the Dark Age,

from barbaric mythos older than Tolkien and Bible

If it's actually trowling then

Not sarcasm nor bait, so I guess I'm just retarded
Thanks for the answer, I knew it came from mythology but didn't know if it was from a specific piece or just a common thing

Take the mighty stone and leave the dwarves behind.

Raise its young, learn to ride it.

From there, literally do almost anything I want, because fuck you I'm riding a dragon.

Rape the corpse while it's still warm.

Lots of Dragonslayers outta there,but I've never heard about a Dragonrapist.

>The dragon is dead, what now?
They have a little blue pill for that now.

took me a second, but well played

Its not a trope if it's true.

He's right.

Pretty much every milkdrinker here has never eaten a fresh heart straight from the chest cavity of their foes, so they don't know.

Go home and get a reward. If the adventure is over, go home and take the tavern owner's daughter who is also the waitress as my wife, then inherit the tavern and tell people of my tales of my adventuring days. Also go on small adventures every now and then to maintain my skill so I'm ready if I'm to be called up for duty again.

Thanks

Cleric and Fighter are seeing to the parties injuries.
Bard is busy keeping record of the Dragon and our fight.
Sorcerer and Ranger are picking through the treasure.
Finally the Druid has laid claim to the entire corpse to harvest for rites, rituals, reagents and ingredients.

I'm going to Disneyland!

Dont eat its meat, dragons are probably on the very top of the foodchain and all kinds of shit end up in their liver and meat like heavy metals. Eating carnivores and especially carnivorous fish isnt healthy, at least when eaten a lot. Instead you should dry the meat and sell it to nobles who have too much money.

Its bones are probably hollow if its an standard flying type dragon, thus they are light and could do well making stuff out of them, maybe even polearms if there are bones long enough.

>all kinds of shit end up in their liver and meat like heavy metals.
You, resourceful user, have made me want to see a dragon driven mad from heavy metal poisoning.

>dragon driven mad from heavy metal poisoning
Somebody post pic of a dragon suffering gold poisoning

>The dragon is dead, what now?
Dragons are Apex Predators. Often they live in isolation, and their lives span a ridiculous amount of time.

In the beginning, all will be well. The dragon will be farmed for materials, peasants will generally be happy, and things will seem awesome.

Eventually, the preparedness of the kingdom withers because there are no real threats to fight anymore. All awesome tech becomes obscure and unusable. Combat shifts from giant monster killing weapons to dainty personal defense weapons.

Slowly, the native fauna will start to pick up. With no dragon to eat them, hydras start to expand their territory and interbreed with leviathans, creating unholy, multiheaded monsters far worse than the original dragon. Various undead start to infest the dragon's lair and the skies become filled with all sorts of flying whelps.

In the end, the kingdom is destroyed and everyone thinks it's just god's will, which I suppose it is, if god is just the natural order of things.

>Regret killing it
>Oh well
>mutilate its corpse
>regret that
>it's a living

His brother plants a roadside bomb to avenge him

Eat lead, marine

Kill myself for being a sister-fucker.

Heck yeah, Blind Guardian.

Suddenly that 3.5 stuff about high end dragons consuming their hoards gets a lot more worrying.

Meat...
Meat!
MEAT!!!

Nice!

I remember a thread about dragons being living fusion reactors - eat food, poop heavy elements. Take a wild guess where their hoard comes from?

Become the next dragon.

Make a dildo from its parts

I'm legitimately suprised it took this long to get here

Or, you know, another dragon that's younger moves into the empty territory.

Take its body apart and take it to craftsmen and alchemists. Wonder if we can get royalties from launching a dragon dildo industry.

You keep what you kill

you generally don't make dildos by literal taxidermy

Bloody skeleton if he's high level, fast zombie if he's mid level.

...

SODOMIZE IT AND GAIN ITS POWER

Usual taxidermy - indeed. But with alchemy or magic, who knows.
Ra-ra-rasputin, lover of the Russian queen

...

Tongue bath the lady knight. She has a hard fight behind her and is probably sweaty.

Remove the core processor, convert the chassis into an airship.

Or everyone goes, "Fuck me, that was hard. Let's put some thought into dedicated anti-dragon weapons so we don't have to do that again."

Next dragon show up and it gets swarmed by armsmen swooping around on grapple lines while the artillery crews get the giant mage-ballistae ready.

When you get both Charisma and Constitution above 20 it gotta show somehow.

Now we get to play the game.

...Are we going into a dungeon?! Sweet!

cut off the dragon's dick and use it as a club.
chicks love it.

Enjoy the peace while it lasts and cut up it's body to make good weapons and armor.

Dragons are immortal and don't forget what happened to them so the next time it revives it'll be gunning for you and your family.

We must find the culprit and bring bad news to his wife and children.

...i'll go fetch the asbestos suit.

Do you do that because you want to clean her, or because it is your fetish?

>cut its head off
>put on a standard
>find a town
>town's ours now

...

No, that dragon ain't dead. I've seen those two before. They've been working villages in this region for almost three months now. They're probably gonna book it soon, since the stories are starting to go around now.

Field dress it. Make dragon burgers. Use the hide for fine items to sell.
Lastly, take the horde.

It's hoard is made out of mostly iron?

Make sweet knight on knight love on its corpse

>what now?
Feel like shit. I didn't want to kill anybody.

burn everything and never look back.

Gods think you are pretty cool for killing a dragon and sent you on a super special new quest

>Step right up folks!

Long live the new dragon.

Gold isn't that reactive so it wouldn't harm too much - mercury, lead and aluminium on the other hand would be more dangerous. That or the dragon chokes up on a golden pitcher that went into their lungs.

Take his treasure, save the princess, bring his head back to the King and become a hero, get statues made in your liking, have your name and deed go down into mythos and legend for time to remember. Just the usual.

>dril is a "tumblr meme"
God, fuck tumblr.

Take the dragon to the taxidermist, and use it to bring my ventriloquist act to the next level.

bath in his blood...

This. We killed it, we eat it. Then we loot its home and cart back whatever parts of it we didn't/couldn't eat to sell, use, or eat later. We'll probably have to turn around half way back to the kingdom when someone remembers that we forgot the princess, but i'm sure we can buy her silence on the matter with dragon jerky.

Give it a proper burial. It was hard enough slaying a dragon, I don't want to have to deal with a GHOST DRAGON.

Cook a meal with its flesh

But if you kill the ghost dragon, then you can get its GHOST HOARD. Then, even after you die you'll still be incredibly wealthy!

Cry because I had to slay my wife
