Lucretious

Lucretious is a high elf necromancer and the ringmistress of the Circus of the Last Days.

	“	Oh dear. Screaming children, an oozing corpse - and it's not even my birthday.	„
		— Lucretious

Involvement

After the party attends the show of Dribbles the Clown and discovers that he was replaced by a doppelganger, Lucretious will ask the party to find the scattered body parts of Dribbles so she can reanimate him and continue to use him as part of the circus.

Once the party returns with all 7 of Dribbles' missing body parts, Lucretious will thank them for returning the star of her show and reward them with Spellmight Gloves (or a small amount of gold if the gloves were previously pickpocketed). She lets the party know that the circus will finally be leaving soon (after the next long rest) so they should buy from its merchants while they still can.
