Parting of the Ways (Fortune: Evolution Game)
"Parting of the Ways" is the sixth chapter in the evolution game run by FortuneHost. The name is a reference to the lyrics of an Irish protest song, but also refers to the splitting of the continents that has occurred. For now, these are tentatively named Alpha, Beta, and Delta continents. Unlike other games, Part 6 is split into regions, with a thread dedicated to each area rather than the world as a whole, as now creatures are separated and should evolve differently in their varied environments.

Webspinner
Webspinners are terrestrial insectoids that prefer cool, damp spaces and are commonly found in the shade of the trees of the Jungle Region with a separate population in the Forest Region. Over time these may develop into two different species, but for now, they are physiologically identical.
Webspinners are predatory creatures about 3 inches long and make their homes in the boughs and shade of trees. It is here that they build their nests, spinning them into tightly woven funnels, held between two small branches like a sideways hammock. While Webspinners do not build web traps like many Earth spiders, the Webspinner can, however, fire a sticky mass out of their abdomen (the same area from where their web comes from, incidentally. Usually this is used to bind the webbing of their homes to the bark of a tree, but it is also how the creature catches prey. The aim has to be precise, but once a smaller creature gets stuck within, there is little escape. The prey is either glued to the tree branch or, if flying, falls to the ground.
Should the fall not kill the flyer, the Webspinner will soon put it out of its misery. Shooting a creature out of the sky is far more difficult than firing at a target situated on the branch, so the Webspinner usually prefers to hunt more land-bound food as an ambush predator, sneaking up and pouncing on the prey (or immobilizing it with sticky goo) before it has time to escape or react at all.
