Some things you can have your Unseen Servant do: - spill the mug of the person sitting next to your target, at a tavern, possibly starting a brawl - trip the barmaid as she walks past the target - if your target visits a library, knock books to the floor, everywhere the target goes - stick papers into a nearby lamp or candle - if your target goes to a market, knock over produce etc. - put valuable items into the target's bag, then tell have it deliver an anonymous note to the Watch, advising them to search the target for stolen propertyI had a wizard use Unseen Servant do the mug-knocking and barmaid-tripping tricks at a tavern. Another PC, who was nearby and invisible, noticed the barmaid's skirt bunching up just before she tripped. The barmaid glared at the target PC, then got a mop and bucket. Watching closely, the same PC on invisible overwatch saw the bucket rise to spill its contents over the barmaid's head while she cleaned up the spill. That PC cast a Web over the area, and I had to decide, on the fly, whether the Unseen Servant occupied a volume, a volume which would be apparent within the Web (because no strands passing through that volume). I decided yes. Another overwatch PC shot an arrow into that gap within the Web, easily hitting AC 10 and doing overkill damage. Okay, the unseen servant pops out of existence.The PCs have ruled out an invisible *person*, and are working on the theory of an invisible *familiar* (the wizard has also harassed them and spied on them with familiar). Meanwhile, they're now unwelcome in that tavern, for suspicion of minor mischief, and no-doubt-about-it having cast Web and fired an arrow in the tavern's main room.The harassing wizard, meanwhile, merely expended the 10 minutes to create a Servant, the time to direct the servant, and the risk that somehow the PCs would recognize him as somehow connected to their troubles... but he was just one of a dozen people who happened to be in the tavern's common room at the time.</blockquote>
