In the long-ago days before they were sentient, Nephila females simply built webs and waited for males to come to them. They'd hold out for a good specimen and eat the rest. But as their brains grew, so did selection pressures. Impressively fuzzy joints, a big, sturdy web, and an intimidating abdomen were no longer guarantees of a mate. Competition escalated ridiculously over the millennia. Modern Nephila females have taken to night-time fire spinning to impress potential mates, and the competition has evolved into festive tournaments where betting is lively. And they still eat inferior males when they can get away with it.

I love it!
This is totally going to be the next encounter I throw at my players, flame spinning spider courtship gathering, I'll use the males dragging off farm loads of animals as gifts as a hook it'll be great!
Just one question what do you think giant flame spinning spiders think about a compromise on hunting farm animals and farmers? I can never tell which encounters my players are going to try to talk their way through and which they just give an arrow to the face.
