Her Angel Grandmother, Layla, had sponsored her into the temple.<br/><br/>Angelique wasn't the greatest researcher the Temple had, but she was dedicated and worked hard, so she often found information that others had missed.  Currently everyone at the Temple was working on finding out information on lost Artifacts.  Recently a new Fiend Lord had made her appearance and during the first encounter between Inanna and Xislisa the Succubus, Inanna had lost, badly.  She had been missing for several days after the fight against Xislisa and no one knew what had happened during that time, but Inanna was determined she wasn't going to lose again and she has been looking for Artifacts that would give her an advantage in the next encounter with Xislisa.<br/><br/>Angelique had discovered of the existence of an Artifact, the Broach of Aphrodite.  It was supposed to make the wearer immune to charms and seduction and can make someone fall in love.   Which as everyone knows, would destroy a fiend if they ever fell in love or so the legends go.  She nervously knocked on Mother's door and after being called in, she presented her research to Mother.  Mother was impressed and then they had to go through the process of taking it up the ranks and finally one of Inanna's Angel Captains, a Planetar named Catixia. Catixia gave her approval, but set to a low level since the information was rather spotty and the Broach didn't have a direct combat value, but could be very useful against a Succubus. Catixia was going putting the Broach on the list of Artifacts to go look for, but it was near the bottom. Angelique frowned, she thought it should go higher and she started arguing that.  Catixia arched an elegant eyebrow and shrugged and responded that Angelique should go look for it, if she thought it was so important.<br/><br/>Next thing Angelique knew, she was ready to go to the dimension called Koklandia.  She was wearing her travelling dress, soft boots for walking in and had a backpack with supplies needed for a long travel.  Fortunately her Grandmother, the Deva angel Layla was assigned as her guide Angel and she would be able to summon her grandmother for help in extreme need.  Mortals needed to be sent to Prime Material Planes, because Angels and Fiends couldn't stay in a Prime Material Plane without lots of local aid and complex rituals.  Layla would also be able to send any additional information discovered along to the brown haired aasimar immediately.  With a last hug for Layla, Angelique walked through the Gate that sent her to Koklandia.<br/><br/>The tall, brunette adventurer appeared in the middle of a field in the middle of nowhere.  She looked around, trying to find some indications of where there might be civilization, Seeing nothing immediately, she picks a direction, east, and started walking. After a couple of hours, her legs feel like they are going to fall off, she has never needed to walk to far and she still can't see anything changes.  With a huff, she stops at a small hill, huddling out of the wind with her back against an outcropping of rocks.  She frowned shivering as she wondered how she was supposed to make a fire.  She only had a dagger and her magic, sighing, she got up and gathered a bunch of dried branches, small ones.  She arranged them in a pile, like what the stories she had read said to do, but she wasn't sure she got it right.  and the fire did help, as she sat shivering eating her cold rations.<br/><br/>She curled up to fall asleep inside her bedroll, when she heard the call of a hunting cat.  She sat up and looked around, fortunately she could see in the dark farther than many mortals.   Staying very still, she hoped the cat wouldn't hunt her, but her hopes were to be dashed as she suddenly saw the glowing eyes of a cat staring at her from the edge of her darkvision. The two engaged in a staring contest, until the catlike creature hisses and it decided that it could take the long human.  It slowly stalked forward, gasping as she realized it was hard to focus directly on the creature and that it had 6 legs and 2 tentacles, Angelique cast magical armor around herself.  Just in time as the cat leapt forward, its tentacles lashing forward.  The armor wasn't quite enough as the first tentacle slapped Angelique to the ground and the second shredded her dress.<br/><br/>The fight was on, and it didn't take long for Angelique to realize that she was in trouble, she summoned the sacred flames of Inanna against the beast, but it was barely slowing the beast down.  And meanwhile she was expending all her powerful magics on blocking the tentacles from hitting her.  She was going to run out of spells quickly, and if she didn't get some help or found a way to chase off the creature, she was going to be its meal.  And the inevitable happened, she ran out of spells to cast Shield with, she could no longer block its tentacles although she had damaged the beast.  And then it started to play with her, she still had her magical armor, but it wasn't enough to stop the cat-like beast.  She had read of these beasts, it was a displacer beast and it liked to play with its prey when it had the advantage.<br/><br/>Angelique summoned her wings, but the displacer beast grabbed her and slammed her to the ground with one tentacle.  It used the other tentacle to slapping her around and shredded her clothing as she tried to damage the beast more.  She knew her grandmother, Layla, was unavailable right now, so even if she called out for her help, Layla wouldn't be able to answer.  Crying out in frustration and anger,<strong>"Just do It BEAST! StOp Playing with me!!" </strong>Sending more of Inanna's sacred flame at the displacer beast.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;"><em>OOC: The displacer beast is down to half of its hit points(43).  Angelique is out of spell slots and sorcery points and has about 11 hit points left.  One good hit can knock her unconscious!</em></span>
