Your Ant Queen begins to reproduce asexually, except this time she begins to split herself seemingly in two, like an amoeba. From the depths of her carapace emerges a newer, smaller Ant Queen. It will take 3 turns for her to reach maturity, and needs a nest by then, or her and the older Ant Queen will tear each other apart for control of the hive under the bridge. In the distance as this is happening, a winged drone patrolling the bridge spots a human coming up the trail from the forest. Seeing the drone and the wagons and bodies left over from the ambush of the troubadours, he turns back and heads into the forest.
Count: 11 Winged Drones (Armored and winged insectoids with sharp mandibles) 1 Scorpion Soldiers (Six-Legged Scorpions armed with pincers and poisoned tails… Outfitted with metal dwarven armor.) 17 Ant Workers (Nearly defenseless being with a desire to labour) 2 Ant Queen (can produce asexually, spawns 4 new Ant workers per turn) Provisions for 6 turns

The drone is dispatched after the human as the rest of the hive escorts the workers ants to the site for the new hive. The drone buzzes angrily, pursuing his prey. The human is clever however, and is barely traceable through the thick forest, using the trees to hide his retreat. The drone continues to pursue him down the path until he reaches the fork. Over the tree line, he can see two distinct columns of smoke from the direction the Elvish sign, while the human side of the path seems quiet. The hive will be finished next turn, two turns until the new Queen reaches maturity

Human path, check for traps and proceed with caution.

3 Worker Ants = Winged Drone (4 suits of armor left) 5 Worker Ants = Scorpion Soldier (4 suits of metal armor left) ? Worker Ants = New Unit Type

The drone turns right and heads down the human side of the path. He buzzes along, no sign of the human he was tracking is to be found anywhere. After a while, he comes to a hill and slows. At the top of the hill, he crouches and peers over. A human hamlet can be seen below, women working diligently near their homes while children run and play in the street. Strangely, few men and fewer soldiers are to be seen… The hive in the former dwarf hole is complete, and the New Ant Queen is escorted to it (+4 Worker Ants per turn!)

OPTIONS: A. Buzz down into the village to search for the human scout B. Buzz back up the path and check down the Elvish side of the path C. Return to the hive D. Other (search for provisions, evolve, etc.)

D Have the scout wait at the fork, and give warning if enemies come from either path.
