How about a surprise encounter with some Tenembrae- Tenumbrua- Those 
creatures that really don't like light?

1. It's hard to fight when your target is effectively invisible, both in a 
psychological sense and a practical sense.

2. If he's a brawler type, that means he has to get close enough to at least 
whack them with a lead pipe, if not resort to outright kicking and punching, 
so the... things... are in a nice position to get at him. "One of the 
creatures is in your hair. Rank 6 Helplessness Check."

3. The T-whatevers are allegedly insectlike or arachnid in body structure. 
Even without a phobia to that stuff, fighting bugs that big, in the DARK, is 
probably going to get into his head and not let go. Especially late at night 
when trying to sleep.

4. If the knowledge of Unnatural Creatures is very limited for campaign 
purposes and/or Mr. Pilgrim Wannabe hasn't read the section on the same in 
the book, this could be very traumatic. Even if it's a one-time occurance, 
it may cause him to expect it again, with the result that he starts 
preffering well-lit areas in the future. Which is something ELSE you can 
exploit down the road.
