The Front gate is guarded by circus performer {{CharLink|Klaus}} and his tamed ghoul, {{CharLink|Benji}}. The party can attempt to enter the Circus by speaking with them. Klaus stops them, stating that he is checking every visitor to see if they are a vicious murderer. He will have Benji sniff the active party member, and the ghoul reacts accordingly. | The Front gate is guarded by circus performer {{CharLink|Klaus}} and his tamed ghoul, {{CharLink|Benji}}.

Approaching Dribbles' stage {{Coords|-41|-36}} ( or {{Coords|-33|-39}} if the party entered through the fence breach) automatically starts a cutscene where Dribbles, accompanied with a dog called {{CharLink|Bitey Buddy}}, begins performing a comedy show full of terrible puns. Towards the end of the show, he states he plans to perform a magic trick, but needs a volunteer with "nerves of steel and the heart of a lion". In doing this, he singles out the player character. They may agree to go up, or may encourage any other party member to do it. The cutscene plays out for any currently active party member, though all but the player character won't have an option to volunteer their mates. | Approaching Dribbles' stage {{Coords|-41|-36}} ( or {{Coords|-33|-39}} if the party entered through the fence breach) automatically starts a cutscene where Dribbles, accompanied with a dog called {{CharLink|Bitey Buddy}}, begins performing a comedy show full of terrible puns.

Denying the offer results in a random crowd member volunteering.

When the battle starts, false beast keepers shall set both animals loose, and they join the fight, siding with doppelgangers. However, both beasts can be dealt with before the cutscene starts via {{SAI|Speak with Animals}}, each in its way (see relevant pages). In that case both remain neutral.</ref>. If the random crowd member came on stage, he is instantly murdered by the dog. | Denying the offer results in a random crowd member volunteering.

If Popper is asked why the hand is so special, he would explain the hand has ''artisanal'' rat bite marks, and therefore it costs 10,000 gold. To counter the cheeky kobold, the talking party member will have a variety of lines to attempt to get the severed hand from him for free: | If Popper is asked why the hand is so special, he would explain the hand has ''artisanal'' rat bite marks, and therefore it costs 10,000 gold.

Alternatively, If the party has found the {{SmRarityItem|Note from BUSINESSLORD POPPER}} (in a wooden chest buried behind the Dribbles' stage, {{Coords|-27|-30}}), they can simply confront Popper about the hand in conversation. | Alternatively, If the party has found the {{SmRarityItem|Note from BUSINESSLORD POPPER}} (in a wooden chest buried behind the Dribbles' stage, {{Coords|-27|-30}}), they can simply confront Popper about the hand in conversation. | ||
