A shaman like man appears out of nowhere and asks if any of the PCs have ever heard of him. They will of course say no.
He says, “Oh well, most people call me Jasper anyway.”
He then goes on to ask the PCs to save him some of those red arrows. Nobody knows what he is talking about. Jasper will go with them for awhile telling stories that don’t really make sense. In the middle of one of his stories he suddenly bends over, picks up a rock, and throws it hitting and killing a rabbit. Everybody, by rules of human nature, would look where he threw and when they look back he is gone.
Later on they are attacked by a band of brigands with red arrows. He may appear again or he may not. Just a little shake up to the norm.

This might be an interesting way introduce the party to the person they are going to be lead around by the nose by.

I never realized that many of the things I introduce have a point or a storyline or .....
But life is not straightforward and things happen that we do not have an explanation for. I think it is terific to remember that odd things happen, also in our fantasy worlds.
I can only say: Thank you Strolen for briging this back to my mind.

It also works well just to keep the pc's shaken and confused--they're more pliable that way.

Another early sub that just needs a little bit of polish.

An interesting bit of destraction that hints at a much more complex world than the PCs can see at that moment. A setting that seems deep and complex, has always been a selling point of me in gaming. Of course this guy doesn't really have any depth beyond the hint at something more.
