I'm running Ch. 1 this weekend and I'm really concerned about ** spoiler omitted ** killing some over-confident players in my party.

There are plenty of opportunities to warn the the party to be wary of that one. If they choose to ignore those warnings, then the blame lies on their heads.

I've never had a player with this archetype before, and I'm looking for advice on how to integrate the blade into SA's story. My (admittedly silly) first thought was that the blade contains the soul of Ambrose Bierce, whose mysterious disappearance was caused by him making contact with Hastur.

My problem is that I don't want the blade to be too much of a help, or too suspicious for the already paranoid amnestic to trust. I haven't run much eith Intelligent items before, and this one is so central to the character that I want to be sure it is believable. Any advice?

Ran another session and this one was rough. They met with Winter and automatically asked for chores/what they could do to help. They chopped wood, got the patient to take his meds, helped heal up the two injured survivors (by the way, why does magical healing cure them? Winter has like 5 channels a day and has the healing domain. I find it hard to believe she hasn't healed them.)

I found that odd, too, and resolved it by giving Winter the Divine Scourge archetype (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/cleric/archetypes/paizo---cle ric-archetypes/divine-scourge-cleric-archetype) and flavoring her as having been sent because of her connection to the darker side of divinity. I replaced Extra Channel with Extra Hex, and gave her the Slumber and Evil Eye hexes.

You could also give her Variant channeling (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/cleric/variant-channeling).
