Solen Diplomacy

eep down in the center of the Solen Hive, Sharkeye Pike found the huge ant-like creature who ruled the Hive: The Solen Matriarch. After offering her a plant seed, the creature began to talk...
Black Solens from another colony have invaded the territory of the Red Solens. Sharkeye was offered the opportunity to help solve this problem, slay 7 of the Black Solen Infiltrators and prove his loyalty to the Solen kingdom. Out of curiosity, Sharkeye accepted this task.

From the miner Andrej he knew that Solen Infiltrators have been spotted in the mountains near the entrance to the City of Wind. Sharkeye Pike checked his armor and spellbooks and left for Wind. It was true: the maze of canyons was filled with Black Infiltrators. He soon spotted some enemies in his vicinity and took them out with several blasts of fire, energy and explosion spells. While the pirate slew the Infiltrators, he found strange-looking Zoogi Fungus on their corpses, and picked them up. Who knew what they'd be useful for?

When he returned to the Matriarch, the greature was overly happy and grateful. He received one last task, which he decided to fulfill immediately: The water supplies of the Hive had been poisoned, and he was to bring eight gallons of clean water to dilute the poison and make the water in the Hive usable again. After he found out that the water in the hive could not be used to solve this problem, Sharkeye left immediately, bought 8 pitchers and filled them from the water trough at the Jolly Roger Inn. Then he made his way back to the Matriarch and poured the eight pitchers into the huge barrels in the Center Hive.

He completed the assignment successfully. The Solen Matriarch declared him a friend of the Hive, and he would no longer be attacked by any Red Solen anymore, unless he attacked them first. Also, the Matriarch offered him to exchange Zoogi Fungus into valuable Powder of Translocation. This powder can be used to charge Bags of Sending or Bracelets of Binding. He handed over 100 Fungus and received 50 bags of powder in return. Up to 200 Fungus can be exchanged that way. Next time he would bring more.
