These are just some of the shenanigans I've gotten up to with my Arcane trickster/bladesinger.
Using your invisible magehand to sleight of hand a poison into someone's drink.
Casting Tasha's hideous laughter on an enemy that's flying away from combat or on a rooftop, only for them to crash 60ft then die from the 6D6 bludgeoning damage. (Has happened twice!)
Creating a silent image of an empty street near the guards then sneaking behind it to avoid an encounter with the guards entirely.
Once while playing "Against the Giants" in Tales from the Yawning Portal my arcane trickster used magehand to undo the clasp on an Oni's necklace of Fireballs but I failed the check to catch them so the DM had the beads set off a 9th level fireball when they hit the ground. Evasion really saved his butt.
Another time he was on a rescue mission gone wrong and the person he was saving didn't make it through our idiot sorceror's fireball. With no cleric or druid in the party to heal them the kidnap victim didn't make their death saves. My arcane trickster used a scroll of animate dead to turn the person into a zombie then their charlatan's disguise kit skills to make them look not so dead, then brought them back to the village and received a full reward for the rescue! He then bolted from town as quickly as possible before his control over the zombie ended.

That last one is a thing of beauty, we did something similar once. Had a special dinner with a high ranking political official. He told us that he had nefarious plans for us and there was nothing we could do about. We slit his through, the death cleric cast repose corpse and then animated him so he still looked lifelike, we cleaned up the blood and used prestidigitation etc to remove it from clothes. And then proceeded to walk around in public with him nodding at our suggestions and ideas.
The DM had this entire elaborate political scenario set up, and we bypassed it with a few simple spells and a lot of bullshitting.

I'm about to start playing an AT and am just curious what kind of things your rogues do to put the Trickster in Arcane Trickster. Post away!
Become a nice *invisible* halfling and sneak into the enemy camp.

Become a nice froggie race, and sneak into the enemy camp.
The look on your DM's face it's unpayable.... hahaha.
