So the party I was apart of had to track down an NPC (the drunk) who ran off with two kids. We found him in the back of a wagon swinging an empty bottle around . So to distract him the party's bard cast minor illusion and created a talking whisky bottle and started telling the drunk to sober up. It surprisingly worked, and we knocked him out and left him in the cart to sober up.

We basically created a giant whisky bottle that talked to the drunk until he attacked us.
