What beauty she has is all the more jarring for the non-human elements that make up her body: the four spider-leg arms that emerge from the sides of her torso; the two large spider eyes that dominate her face and the six, no... five human eyes that follow the ridge of her cheek bones just below the other, larger eyes. One eye has clearly been violently removed though the skin has healed and sealed the empty socket.FAVORED FORMS:   UbariyaFemale Outsider 20 / Cleric 3 / Rogue 3 / Divine Rank 1LN Large outsider (Law)Init +2; Senses Listen +22, Spot +22STATISTICSStr 18 (+4) [6 pts., +4 size]Dex 15 (+2) [6 pts., -2 size, +2 divine, +1 lv.]Con 14 (+2) [4 pts., +2 size]Int 15 (+2) [5 pts., +2 lv.]Wis 18 (+4) [4 pts., +6 divine]Cha 29 (+9) [10 pts., +3 lv., +10 divine]DEFENSESHP 254 (23d8+6d6+52)AC 35 (10 base, +0 armor, +0 shield, +2 dex, -1 size, +14 natural, +9 deflection, +1 divine)--Touch AC 21--Flat-footed AC 33Fort +36 (24 base, +2 con, +9 luck, +1 divine)Ref +36 (24 base, +2 dex, +9 luck, +1 divine)Will +38 (24 base, +4 wis, +9 luck, +1 divine)Speed 70 ft., climb 20 ft.OFFENSEBase Atk +29/+24/+19/+14Melee +33; Grapple +37-- spear +33 (2d6+6) x2-- stinger (leg barb) +33 (1d6+4 +poison)-- slam (leg strike) +33 (2d6+4)Ranged +31-- Full AttackDistaff of Souls (Spear) +37/+32/+27/+22 (4d6+1d6 cold +10) +Stinger +33 (1d6+2 +poison) +Slam +33/+33/+33 (2d6+2)SPECIAL TRAITS [20]Subtype: Law [1]Size: Large [1]Climb speed: 20 ft.

You take half and bathe it in your light, and I take half to shroud in darkness. After a period of time, we relinquish our half to the other.  In this you fulfill your duty to bring new beginnings to lands touched by darkness and also have opportunity to renew them. And, so that you are not totally powerless during the Shifting Realm of Night I offer you an eye with which you can pierce the darkness even from your blazing palace. In return, though, I would request that mortals and objects standing between us reach out towards me with a shadow of their substance."<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/playing-game/272127-grey-mist-4.html#post5096785" target="_blank">Lavaria's Promise:</a> (accepted) "I will give you my life sustaining heat deep under the shambling ones rock, giving the rock freedom to move above my realm. All I ask is vented access to the world above to keep an eye on my minions and fissures for view into your strange world above my flames. I will keep my palace of pure flame hidden deep within the world so your peoples will not fear it and burn from it. But know this my... 'friends', those who step into my realm uninvited are in for an eternity of burning torment. Once you enter my fiery domain there will be NOT return unless I myself grant your leave."<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/playing-game/272127-grey-mist-4.html#post5097058" target="_blank">Sirion's Word:</a> "My word of honor is given I will not enter your realm uninvited and know if you come to my realm with friendly intents it will never be closed to you or any of the gods"[/sblock][sblock=Secret History]Ubariya is immeasurably old.  Among the least of the servants of Death in another realm she has spent thousands upon thousands of years reaping souls for his Dark Eminence.  She eventually grew to desire independence and so Death altered his bargain with her and she eventually was able to set off to a new realm with a belly full of souls waiting to be birthed into a world where she can create not only new races but a new self.[/sblock]</blockquote>
