Percival the Naturalist

n a small library somewhere in the city of Britain you can meet a man named Percival. He is a naturalist interested in the study of insects and arachnids. He asked Hawkeye for assistance. Percival said:
"I'm afraid I'm not much of the adventuring type. Though I have gained assistance before, I still have many unanswered questions about the Solen. I am particularly interested in the Solen Egg Nests that are studiously protected by the Solen workers. If you could be so kind as to assist me, I would ask that you travel into the Solen Hive and inspect each of the Solen egg nests that reside within."
Hawkeye had planned an expedition to the Solen Hive anyway, so he accepted the task hoping for a valuable reward from the naturalist.

The southeast entrance to the Solen Hive was not far from Hawkeye Pike's home. He had noticed the hole in the ground before.

The pirate had to explore almost the whole hive to discover and examine the four egg nests. Two of them were in a very dangerous area surrounded by acid-spitting Solen Warriors who tried to end the life of each intruder quickly. But Hawkeye succeeded at last and returned to the naturalist in Britain.

As a reward Hawkeye received a rare aqua seed. His brother would sure be excited to try out this seed and see what would grow from it.
