Speaking to [[Klaus]] and [[Benji]], the party can attempt to enter the Circus through the front gate. Claus will stop them, stating that he is checking every visitor to see if they are a vicious murderer. He will have his ghoul sniff the party, who exclaims that they smell of "iron and blood." Determining that he can't subject other patrons to the stink, he will deny entry. However, he can be reasoned with:

Successfully passing a check will allow entry into the circus.

Approaching Dribbles' stage {{Coords|-41|-36}} will automatically start a cutscene where Dribbles will begin performing a comedy show full of terrible puns, along with his dog. Towards the end of the show, he will state 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 will single out the party. Any party member can be volunteered to go up, or Dribbles' volunteer can agree to go up. Denying the offer will result in a random crowd member volunteering. Either way, Dribbles and his dog will suddenly attack, along with a group of dopplgangers. If the random crowd member came on stage, he will be instantly murdered by the dog.

[[Lucretious]] will move towards the stage area after the attack. Speaking with her will start the quest, as she will request the party find what is left of Dribbles in exchange for fabulous rewards.

Dribble's Hand is on a plate in [[Popper|Popper's]] store inside the Circus of the Last Days. It can either be stealthily stolen like any other object, or the party can attempt to simply go up and grab it. If the party attempts to grab it, they will be stopped by Popper, who says it is his "special hand." If Popper is asked why the hand is so special, then the party can respond in a variety of ways to attempt to get it from him. Popper states that it will cost 10,000 gold:

Dribbles' Torso can be found during [[Solve the Open Hand Temple Murders]], or simply when exploring the [[Open Hand Temple]]. The torso's location can be found via a hatch in the kitchen {{Coords|-62|3}}. There are pools of blood which can be followed to the exact location of the murders. However, the drops of blood will abruptly stop in front of what appears to be a stone wall. There are two ways to get past this and into the secret tunnels beyond. The first is to go into the adjoining room to the south and jump over the cracks in the wall {{Coords|16|-1026}}. The 'proper' way to enter the tunnels is by locating the secret buttons in the crypt. These buttons are obscured by heraldry {{Coords|17|-1000}} and {{Coords|18|-1015}} on the walls to the left and right of the stone wall.

Once inside the secret tunnels, three dopplegangers will immediately become hostile. After defeating the dopplegangers, the torso can be looted off the dead body of Penela Lumpensicks {{Coords|63|-1028}}, alongside a note from [[Orin the Red]].

Dribbles' Pelvis is in the [[Lower City]], in an empty home northwest of the Basilisk Gate {{Coords|123|4}}. Looting the body of Gohumberry Tresp will grant the Pelvis and a note from Orin.

Dribbles' Arm is in the Lower City in the Peartree House {{Coords|32|-96}} located south east of [[Sorcerous Sundries]]. The Peartree House is a boarded-up building, so the boards will need to be destroyed before entering. After the boards have been destroyed, there will be a Traveler's Chest blocking a hatch. Move that chest and descend the hatch to find another murder scene. Looting the corpse of Courageous Little Kimmabeth will grant the severed arm and a note from Orin.

Dribbles' Leg is in Lavernica's House {{Coords|-76|-70}} which is west of the Lower City Central Wall [[Waypoint]] and south east of Bloomridge Park. After lockpicking the front door, the leg is down a hatch. The basement below contains many dead spiders and duergar, where a note from Orin can be found on the Duergar corpse named Danfora of the Kingfish. Looting the corpse of the dead Drow named Incontinentia's Figgin in the neighboring room will provide the leg and yet another note from Orin.  

Returning to the Circus of Last Day's, Lucretious will be delighted to have all the parts of Dribbles back, and only a little bit bitten by rats. She will thank the party for allowing her to raise the corpse of one of her star performers.
