I have a traveling NPC who will eventually be important. As means of establishing the character and his abilities, I intend for him to pop up on occasion and cast Mass Suggestion to cause small detours/interruptions. He largely does this for either amusement or to handle short tasks. This is intended to happen a handful of times, so I need a few ideas for what he might hit the (primarily martial) party with when they bump into him.
This usually isn't intended to happen during fights or at critical moments, so much as it's something they encounter during downtime. For example, the one time the party encountered this NPC already, they had finished their quest and went drinking at a seaside tavern. He came in off a boat, walked into the bar, and said "If you have a strong back, come unload my cargo." The party (and several tavern patrons) became dockworkers for their night off. My players laughed at the situation, so smaller uses such as this are fine with the group. Please give me some funny/menial uses for this spell.
