Sometimes you have a party that just stomps and murder hobos their way through your setting, defying consequences to catch up to them. It is those groups that I think will benefit most from encountering Grandpa.
If the villagers in your game are being ill treated it might be time for Grandpa to put in an appearance. A fit and hardy looking male human in his late fifties, he sports gray hair, a nondescript wardrobe, and a quarterstaff of worked darkwood. He rarely uses magic beyond his ring, amulet, and quarterstaff, but has been known to use potions at times. Depending on the scenario I usually play him as either Grandpa Simpson or Bruce Dern in World Gone Wild.
A twentieth level commoner with 11 Mythic Tiers in Trickster, he makes an interesting challenge for higher level groups as he steps in to protect his town or village.
