You were an brave (or foolish) enough to decide to visit the dead kingdom of Hallownest, were you searching for secrets, treasure or something else entirely up to you
after you had made your way into the forgotten crossroads though dirthmouth, you descended down the platforms that were on the left from the entrance, at the bottom you found an room where goods were once transported, you're exhausted fighting all the gruzzers and decide to take shelter in the corridor on the right of the storage room, as you sit there you notice that the collapsed ceiling leads to an small cavern, from which you notice an weird purple like glow. You decide to investigate it and so. You come across the ancestral mound, as you walk in you feel the many masks making the floor move with each step. There was an bone bench, few masks impaled on shellwood sticks and an larger hollowed out fossil that probably used to be someones home, kinda like a tent-
"snore"
well turns out it is still someones home, you try to step back and exit the place but the masks on the floor make it hard to be quiet. The Snail Shaman wakes up, grabbing her staff and peeking her head out of the fossil
"Oho! Who is that creeping out of the darkness?"
she calls out looking at you, she steps up to you looking down at you
"Something important has drawn you down into Hallownest's corpse, but I won't ask what. Perhaps the reason you've found me is because you need my help? Ohoho!"
she giggles and leans down to look at you
"Say no more, friend. I'm going to give you a gift, an rest at this temple! Ohoho! don't worry I and the spirits of my ancestors will make sure you are safe~"
her tone turns from plain playful into a tiny bit flirty, she begins to walk into the hollowed out fossil, giving an extra sway into her hips, she sits down gently, patting an spot next to her
