The Drunken Lizard Pub

i cleared the hive cave already and killed the queen and i tossed the stinger because i was encumbered and the stats weren't good, then i go to liliths house and find out that the stinger is needed for the main quest
have i really shafted myself??? or will the queen respawn??? necessary quest items should be labeled as such, some are labelled as special and i keep those, but the stinger wasn't labeled as such, just as a weapon with poison. Please help.

fishboy: Lilith will tell you what your need to know, but you can actually continue the game without finishing her quest:

SPOILER wrote:She will tell you that your amulet is really a key and that you need to go to Blackwater to look for a place called the Underground Repository. As long as you have your strange amulet with you, you'll be fine without finishing her quest.
