The Quickweb Spider (Web Sink, slight Vore, 2nd person(kind of), 90% fatal)
Posted: Fri May 04, 2018 1:47 am
Author's note: Hey guys, Solrex here. After writing the Shadowmire, and the basophobic bogs story (Basophobic meaning one with a fear of heights), I decided to write about a spider that weaves it's own quicksand. As a teaser for a future story I'm writing, I'm thinking about making a quicksand with contact-based pleasure chemicals, of course, in my unique style of writing about "one's self."
Anyways, I hope writing about magic doesn't deteriorate from the story too much, I tried to cover all my bases.. also, to add to the "one's self"-person perspective of writing, I did ctrl+F (or whatever the find command is, I actually wrote this on mobile) and removed every instance of the word they, their, them, and so forth. Having revised it several times over, I'm ready to post this, and I hope you enjoy.
If one was to travel to the land of Arcana, that same person should be weary of traveling through abandoned forests. One should especially be aware of the quickweb spider traps. The quickweb spider is a burrowing spider that can lay a deadly trap for anything that falls in. These traps are large enough to ensnare humans for the spider's feeding.
The quickweb spider starts by burrowing a hole in the ground about 15 feet deep with a diameter of 5 feet. Seeing as it's a 3 foot tall spider, it is an easy task for the predator.
Once the spider digs this hole, it will then use it's unique webbing to fill the hole halfway full(7.5 feet). The webbing is very soft, but extremely sticky, and somewhere between the consistency of solid and liquid. This webbing can keep it's stickiness for up to a week before losing it's stickiness.
The quickweb spider then finishes the trap by weaving a very thin layer of quick-drying web above the hole, and then kicking dirt on top of it, making it appear as solid ground. However, if anything heavy enough to feed the spider steps on the false floor, the victim's weight will cause gravity to pull the person through the false floor to break through and fall to the trap below, leaving the dirt on the web above, which has dried and is no longer sticky. Thus, the quickweb spider's trap is set.
If one was to step onto the trap, falling into the trap would ensue. Landing into the web pool below, one would sink immediately to one's waist, or thighs if one managed to slow one’s descent.
It is at this point that one would notice gravity slowly pulling one’s body downwards. If one would struggle, this would only speed up the descent into the sticky trap.
Pressing one's hands onto the webbing to try and push one's self up is the worst thing anyone could do; pressing one's hands into the white webbing would ensnare the hands that tried so desperately to grab at leverage, and especially if the trap was recently set, it would be impossible to pull one's hands out of the trap. If, however, the trap was closer to it's expiration date, one might be able to free one’s trapped hands, however, this would cost a dear price in vertical height remaining before submersion.
Much wiser would one be if that person decided to use the walls to slow the descent, albeit this only slows the fate of an inevitable submersion. However, due to the inevitable submersion of this trap, one is suggested to place one’s arms somewhere comfortable, and if that spot is to the victim’s side, then now is the easiest time to do so.
Even if one was to be given a rope, it would take the force needed to lift a car to be pulled out of the sticky mess.
As for using the magic of the land of Arcana, using any kind would be futile. Using water would cause one to sink faster and submerge and drown before any escape could be made.
If fire were to be used, one would burn the webbing and end up giving the spider a nice cooked meal. Electricity would do the same by causing a spark. Attempting to freeze the webbing would just take the difficulty of escaping from impossible to a sealed fate; rather than being stuck in a web mire, one would trap one's self in a cement-like solid.
Flying, whether with arcane or air magic, would have the webbing tug at one's lifting body, holding tight with a vice grip. Light, dark, and venomous magic would have no effect.
Attempting to teleport through the arcane arts was a horrible idea. First, being submerged in any kind of matter was dangerous, as it made the spell more expensive in mana, and it was harder to focus on just one's self and not the webbing. And if one didn't sever the webbing through the teleport, it would cause one to bring it all with one’s self, and continue sinking. Even worse, the spider wouldn't know of one's location if that person teleported out of the forest, and without the spider freeing it’s victim to attempt to consume it’s hard earned meal, this would cause one to become eternally bound in the webbing, doomed to starvation and death by the elements. Teleporting was out of the question.
Using nature magic to call the plants for aid would simply be a weaker version of being pulled out by a rope. Summoning lava would simply do the same as fire magic.
If one was to attempt to push the earth below one’s self to escape with earth magic, this would submerge the helpless victim faster due to vibrations and such. Creating a rocky edge to climb out would be futile, as the force needed to pull one's self out would not be achievable.
Thus, one's fate is sealed as soon as one falls in. However, it is not a bad way to go. The soft silky web on the skin can be a soothing experience before one's death, as one would feel the web slowly cover more and more of one’s doomed skin.
If one were to enjoy the feeling of being trapped, and struggling against bonds that become harder to escape the more one struggles, then at the very least, one could struggle to enjoy the feeling of entrapment. Pulling against the webbing could help one to feel completely helpless, and entrap said person even more, if that is how one wished to go.
Sinking from the waist to the bottom of one's ribs would be slow and steady, but sped up with struggling. Feeling the webbing soak through clothing and into the skin can be a very therapeutic fate as one approaches an inevitable submersion.
If one were to wish to jerk off before departing, it would be very difficult to reach one's private spot with one's hands due to the stickiness of the trap. However, humping the webbing is still possible, and somewhat calming.
Regardless of one's chest size, the webbing has no sense of buoyancy, just webbing, gravity, and the tar-like difficulty of pulling one's self out. Due to the design of the trap, it is very much like sinking into quicksand. As one sinks past one's chest, the descent into the mire-like webbing would remain at the same speed whether or not one had a large-size chest or a small one instead.
Sinking from one's chest down to the armpits would have one's arms, if free, floating on the surface. At this point, it would be very difficult to drive one's arms through the sticky webbing to get them to one’s sides. However, since one will be still conscious under the webbing, it is advised to find a comfortable position. At this point, folding one's arms would be the most advisable.
As one sinks from the armpits to the neck, whether one’s arms are above or below the webbing, one would find it difficult to breathe, seeing each breath is fighting against the webbing to expand one's chest. Learning to take slow and short breaths through one's nose would be advisable before submersion.
As one would sink hopelessly to the chin in the unstoppable descent of this trap, one may think to look up before perishing, to spare one's submersion a little longer. However, unless one found this neck position enjoyable, it would be cautioned against. Once one submerges to below the webbing, moving one's head to a different position is impossible; however, one would find that breathing through the web is possible if one breathes using the nose and does so slowly, as the webbing allows oxygen to pass through the gaps.
However, if one breathes in through the mouth, one may get a mouthful of webbing, and it would be an unpleasant way to choke to death in shock and gag reflex.
Once under, one could struggle as much as one pleased, and provided that one breathed through one’s nose, survival would be possible until the spider returns. It can be incredibly enjoyable as one sinks to the bottom to twist and turn and enjoy the restrictions the webbing provides. Escape cannot happen, at least not yet.
Struggling is fine, but if one wishes to survive until the spider comes for their meal, moving the head is ill-advised, as this will only risk the chance of causing the webbing to clog up the nose and cause death by suffocation, rather than being sedated before being eaten painlessly.
The giant arachnid will usually check their traps once a day, so if one is wise, they can usually survive and think until a quickweb spider returns to their trap. This solitude is bliss to an introvert, and torture to an extrovert. This time allows reflection on one's life before it is ended.
Eventually, one will feel their feet hit the bottom of the pit, stopping their descent. However, due to the support of the webbing on one's sides, it is much more comfortable than standing up for hours on end in one spot.
After hours of solitude, one will eventually be found by the quickweb spider. When the spider sees the trap set off by the hole in the top, the spider will then proceed to remove the remaining of the top layer of the trap, then discard it.
The spider then proceeds to start eating their sticky webbing to regain the nutrients they exerted to make the trap. Once the spider gets to it's victim, the spider will weave the helpless victim into a cocoon, and to avoid a struggling meal, the spider will bite through the webbing into the victim’s neck, injecting a sedative, or sleeping venom, into the victim, putting one's self to sleep before one perishes.
The spider then proceeds to devour the victim whole. If one were desperate to save a friend from this trap, now would be the time to do so, once they are freed but before they are eaten. Magic may also be of use at this point, providing one has enough mana for this battle and their escape. However, the giant spider is not foreign to combat, and will put up a fight to keep it's treasured meal.
If one manages to survive all this, an addiction may be left in one’s mind of the experience, for others, a deadly fear of quickweb spiders would ensue. Regardless, one would still be in a coffin-like cocoon. Not a fast process, but one can teleport to society, and over the next few weeks as the webbing is painstakingly removed, one can find nourishment in taking ground up food, and teleporting it into one’s stomach.
On the contrary, if one failed to defeat or be rescued from the quickweb spider, one would slowly dissolve in the spider's stomach and then perish.
If, however, the webbing expired, the trap will become dry, and falling into it would simply feel like falling unto a trampoline. However, it is ill advised to jump on the dry webbing, as one can break through a dry surface into barely wet webbing below, and become trapped regardless.
If this does not happen, the spider will remove the dirt-filled webbing at the top and devour all the webbing below to regain expended nutrients to recreate the trap either in the same place or elsewhere.
Thus, it is ill-advised to visit the abandoned forests in Arcana.

I prefer sinks where you have a semi-decent chance to live another day. Good story, though.
