I'll try to go back a save first. I did get a message from the queen saying something about me not doing enouggh, but I assumed that was scripted since I killed everything. I got the level up jar no prob.
Funny thing, the game used to give me a quicksave.1 AND .2, but after my XP SP2 I only get the one quicksave file, so maybe there is something buggered up.
