Second Most Angelic Devil Ever
One game I was running had the PC's find an intelligent +3 dagger. It granted fire resistance when held but had an uppity attitude. It spoke aloud to communicate and would occasionally ruin the party's sneaking around by making a joke at the wrong time. So they threatened to destroy it.
It begged for its life and promised that it knew where a dragon's treasure hoard was hidden. Skeptical, they questioned it and learned that the dragon was dead. So they trekked overland for a few weeks and found the hidden entrance to the underground caves. Sure enough, in the main chamber was a huge pile of treasure. Surrounding it were a pile of adventurers' corpses.
The party was quietly observing the scene, trying to determine how old the corpses were, when the dagger suddenly shouted "Master! I've brought more souls for you to consume!"
A gigantic tethered demon flew straight up out of the treasure and roared. It was easily at least five levels above the party. The guy holding the sentient dagger threw it at the demon and everybody ran.
[sblock]Five or six levels later, the party went back to the caves. The demon's arcane chain was broken and the treasure was all gone, but in its place was a small magically-sealed bundle of websilk. When they touched it, they heard a muffled voice say "Who's there? I'm a magic dagger. I can help you!"
They left it there. [/sblock]
