Model

Dribbles the Clown works at the Circus of the Last Days as a clown. He can be found at the Circus in Rivington in Act 3, as well as various locations around Baldur's Gate.

Background

Dribbles the Clown is the "star" and one of the most popular shows at the Circus of the Last Days. Unfortunately, he was killed by Bhaalist cultists sometime before the party reaches Baldur's Gate.

Act Three

'Dribbles the Clown' can first be encountered at the Circus of the Last Days doing a comedy routine. As the party approaches the stage they will be brought into the act, and 'Dribbles' will call upon a member of the party to join him on stage, where it will be revealed that this Dribbles is actually a Doppelganger named Fumm.

After the fight, Lucretious will ask the party to find Dribbles. His body can be found strewn across Baldur's Gate. After his parts are returned, Lucretious says she will be able to resurrect him so that he can continue performing.

Party Interactions

The player can suggest to one of their party members that they go up on the stage when their group is called on. Some party members will disapprove of being called up on stage, but the other party members will approve. The interactions are as follows:

Astarion

• Astarion: What? No. Don't you dare. This isn't funny.

Gale

Halsin

• Halsin: Why is that daubed fellow being forced before a crowd like so? Is he being punished? Ritualised humiliation?
• Player: Lend him a hand, Halsin.  +1  +1  +1  +1  +1  +1  +1  +1  +1

Lae'zel
