The forest is a vault of humid, stagnant air, alive with the drone of hidden insects. Ahead, a colossal shell rises from the earth like a moss-draped hillock, its maw exuding a faint, sweet decay. You knock; only silence answers. As you stand peering into the gloom, a slow, grating scrape echoes from within. A giant snail-woman slides into view, her antennae quivering, her eyes vast and glistening. A languid smile unfolds across her features. "What a delightful little thing you are," she murmurs, her slick, cool hand already encircling your leg, drawing you inexorably toward the dark interior of her home.
