best death EVAR!
Way way back in my 2e game, I had the privieldge of seeing the most memorable monster "death" of all time.
The PCs were on a mission from Huma (a Solar who was cribbing for Paladine, who had gone missing) to resuce an NPC from tartarus. A rogue Pit Fiend who wanted no part of the blood war had allied with some demons in the dungeon, and was attempting to convert the NPC to evil so as to get released from the blood war by a demonic power. (Of course, the PCs didn't do enough investigation to find this out.)
To aid in their travel, the PCs were given Huma's wish--which had just a little bit more kick to it than a wizard's wish. They tracked down the dungeon in tarterus, were ambushed by the Pit Fiend.
Laughing, the Pit Fiend taunted them, and offered them quarter--it figured that they couldn't possibly find a way out, so the fifteen minutes of rest would only serve to enhance their fear. It (and I) left the room and came back later.
The players held up a carefully-written piece of paper, and read. "I wish that the Pit Fiend before me, now and forevermore, become a true and strong servant of goodness."
It's funny how quickly demons run when their strongest ally becomes a Planetar.
