Ambitious Solen Queen Quest

**Ambitious Solen Queen Quest** is a quest obtained in the solen hive by speaking with An Ambitious Solen Queen.

## Description

The Solen queen considers you eagerly for a moment then says,

*Yes. Yes, I think you could be of use. Normally, of course, I would handle these things on my own, but these are busy times. Much to do, much to do. And besides, if I am to one day become the Matriarch, then it will be good to have experience trusting others to carry out various tasks for me. Yes.*

*That is my plan, you see - I will become the next Matriarch. Our current Matriarch is fine and all, but she won't be around forever. And when she steps down, I intend to be the next in line. Ruling others is my destiny, you see.*

*What I ask of you is quite simple. First, I need you to remove some of the - well - competition. I suppose. Though I dare say most are hardly competent to live up to such a title. I'm referring to the other queens of this colony, of course. My dear sisters, so to speak. If you could remove 5 of them, I would be most pleased. \*sighs\* By remove, I mean kill them. Don't make that face at me - this is how things work in a proper society, and ours has been more proper than most since the dawn of time. It's them or me, and whenever I give it any thought, I'm sure I'd prefer it to be them.*

*I also need you to gather some zoogi fungus for me - 50 should do the trick.*

*Will you accept my offer?*

### Progress

The Solen queen smiles as you decide to help her.

*Excellent. We'll worry about the zoogi fungus later - start by eliminating 5 queens from my colony.*

*That part's important, by the way; they must be queens from my colony. Killing queens from the other solen colony does little to help me become Matriarch of this colony and will not count toward your task.*

*Oh, and none of those nasty infiltrator queens either. They perform a necessary duty, I suppose, spying on the other colony. I fail to see why that couldn't be left totally to the warriors, though. Nevertheless, they do not count as well.*

*Very well. Carry on. I'll be waiting for your return.*

### Progress after killing queens

The Solen queen looks pleased to see you.

*Splendid! You've done quite well in reducing my competition to become the next Matriarch. Now I must ask that you gather some zoogi fungus for me. I must practice processing it into powder of translocation.*

*I believe the amount we agreed upon earlier was 50. Please return when you have that amount and then give them to me.*

*Farewell for now.*

### Progress waiting for the fungus

The Solen queen looks up as you approach.

*Do you have the zoogi fungus?*

*If so, give them to me. Otherwise, go gather some and then return to me.*

### Completion

The Solen queen smiles as she takes the zoogi fungus from you.

*Wonderful! I greatly appreciate your help with these tasks. My plans are beginning to take shape ensuring that I will be the next Matriarch. But there is still much to be done until then.*

*You've done what I've asked of you and for that I thank you. Please accept this bag of sending and some powder of translocation as a reward. Oh, and I suppose I should give you some gold as well. Yes, yes. Of course.*
