Corrupt them.

This man has a favourite dream. In it, he is walking through a giant library. He reads books filled with knowledge, pores over maps of far away places, and plays with brass machines that chart the course of heaven. The library is safe, away from the clutter of everyday life. After dreaming of it, he feels refreshed and happy.
He is dreaming of the library now. A book here, a chart there. The library feels realer than ever this time- usually the books are vague repetitions of things he already knows, and the charts blurry lines. But today he reads things in the books he never knew- of angels and demons, of dreams and insanity, and the charts show lands far away in stunning detail.
The brass machines have also changed. Worryingly so.
No longer do iridescent gems orbit each other as the crank has turned. No longer, even, are they made of brass- they have all been replaced with a mass of steel tentacles, which grind against each other, with a sound like a thousand swords clashing. In some machines, the remains of a man lies within them, his flesh torn to shreds.
After walking through the library and coming across a particularly disturbing machine, the man decides to abandon them in favour of his books and charts. And so he unravels the nearest map- but no map this. Eldritch runes lie scrawled across the parchment, which glow brightly as his eyes pass over them. He cries out and throws the map away, and turns instead to the books. But this book- it speaks of a horrible entity ripping men to shreds. He throws it away, grabs another. The same again- but this time the words are runes, which speak to him in harsh whispers. He throws the book away and runs through the shelves. Now the light has changed- no longer a pleasant yellow glow, but an evil ruby aura. He runs into a machine. The crank starts to turn itself, and the tentacles start to writhe and slice. He runs again- the books fall of their shelf and fly after him, runes spitting off their pages, burning themselves into his flesh. The shelves themselves rumble and morph, becoming a mass of steel, which join the chase. The man screams and shouts, but nothing will hold back their advance- he trips, falls, and the tentacles have him, ripping through his clothes, tearing his skin. His blood spurts out and forms yet more runes, which join their fellows in spelling out evil.
You bring nightmares to dozens. The village will be more susceptible to your influence now. Now would be an excellent time to
-Convince some of those corrupted villagers to do your bidding
-Break completely the mind of some villager, and force them to do your bidding
-Sneak into town and consume the flesh of the weakened villagers
-Do something completely different
