'''Apocalypse angels''' are a possible inhabitant of an angel-[[hellish seal]]. They are notable for the variety of status ailments they can inflict through their [[insight]]- and [[sanity]]-dependent attack and for the large numbers of allies.

Apocalypse angels have a 2 square snakebite attack and a close range "prophecy" attack. They also summon aid all over the current dungeon level.

== Revelatory whispers ==

The attacker will "whisper terrible truths" in the target's ear. Against the PC, this will lift the [[veil]] (if not already lifted) and has an [[insight]]-dependent chance of further effects. A random number from 0 to your Insight-1 is rolled, and if this number is >= 10 the attack takes effect. If not, you become confused and your insight increases by 1, but no further effects occur.

=== Effects ===

For Number equal to 1 per 5 points of sanity that you've lost, or 1d(attacker level) vs monsters:

{|class="prettytable"
!Message
!Effect
|-
|Doubt clouds your heart.
|Makes the target [[Doubt]]ful. The PCs doubt timer will be set to 50xNumber (more) turns.
|-
|Blasphemous thoughts fill your mind!
|Increases the [[anger]] of a random god by 1, and lets the god [[smite]] the PC. Monsters may be struck by lightning or disintegrated.
|-
|The truth shakes the foundations of your mind!
|Lose some [[sanity]] points. This sanity loss may inflict a temporary madness. Monsters are instead stunned and confused.
|-
|The truth tears down the foundations of your mind!
|The PC loses one point of wisdom and 10% of memories per point of Number. If wisdom is reduced to minimum the PC will tear at themselves in horror, taking (Number)d10 direct damage. Monsters take (Number)d10 damage.
|-
|[The angel] shares a prophecy of doom!
|The target's [[morale]] is lowered by Number points, and [[study]] is increased by a like amount.
|-
|[Variable]
|The angel uses a [[rider]] touch attack vs. the target.
|-
|[The angel] shares a prophecy of your death!
|Your intrinsic AC bonus and divine protection bonus are both reduced by Number points. Monsters instead have their morale reduced.
|-
|[The angel] shares a prophecy of great misfortune!
|Your [[luck]] is reduced by Number points. Monsters instead have their morale reduced.
|-
|Space bleeds around [target].
|The target's inventory is soaked with blood, cursing and water damaging random items.
|}

== Prophecy summons ==

Summons between 0 and 33 (1 per 3 points of sanity lost) invidiaks, fallen coure eladrins, walking deliriums, or earth elementals for 66 turns. After 66 turns, a new batch can be summoned.

==Origin==

Unsurprisingly, apocalypse angels are (very loosely) based on the Book of Revelation (Apokálypsis).
