Editing Find Dribbles the Clown

==== Through the Front Entrance ====

[[File:Klaus Benji.jpg|thumb|Klaus and Benji guard the gate.]]

Speaking to [[Klaus]] and [[Benji]], the party can attempt to enter the Circus through the front gate. Claus stops them, stating that he is checking every visitor to see if they are a vicious murderer. He has 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 denies entry. However, he can be reasoned with:

* [DECEPTION] I'm a friend of Lord Gortash. I wonder what he'll say if I tell him about this...

* Surely we can come to an agreement? (200)

* [ARCHFEY][DECEPTION] Unless you seek the wrath of the Seelie Court, you will let me pass.

* [WARLOCK][DECEPTION] I've actually just been hired. I do a magic show.

* [MONK][DECEPTION] I've actually just been hired. I do martial arts.

* [BARD][DECEPTION] I've actually just been hired. Meet your new bard!

* [ROGUE][DECEPTION] I've actually just been hired. I juggle knives.

* [SORCERER][DECEPTION] I've actually just been hired to do a magic show. Fingers crossed no one blows up this time!

*[DRACONIC BLOODLINE][DECEPTION] I’ve actually just been hired. I’m the new fire breather!  

Successfully passing a check allows entry into the circus.

[[File:Dribbles Imposter.jpg|thumb|Dribbles needs a volunteer for his last act.]]

Approaching Dribbles' stage {{Coords|-41|-36}} automatically starts a cutscene where Dribbles begins performing a comedy show full of terrible puns, along with his dog. 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 party. Any party member can be volunteered to go up, or Dribbles' volunteer (the currently active party member) can agree to go up.

* [<nowiki/>[[The Great Old One|GREAT OLD ONE]]] [<nowiki/>[[Insight|INSIGHT]]] ''Gaze through the clown with your patron's eldritch sight.'' (DC 25, advantage, <span title="Potentially a bug?">no Wisdom modifier</span>)

Denying the offer results in a random crowd member volunteering. Either way, Dribbles and his dog suddenly attacks, along with a group of doppelgangers. If the random crowd member came on stage, he is instantly murdered by the dog.

After defeating Dribbles, it turns out that he was a doppelganger. His corpse can be spoken to with [[Speak with Dead]] and grant some information on the attack:

* Who are you? ''I am called...Fumm...''

* You singled me out from the crowd. Why? ''I saw in your eyes...what I see in my own...death.''

* What type of creature are you? ''A shapechanger...People call us...doppelgangers...''

* Why did you attack? ''To sow chaos...it is His will...''

* It is 'His will'? What are you talking about? ''*You feel a rush of power, dark and insidious - something prevents the corpse from answering.*''

* What happened to Dribbles the Clown? ''I killed him...bathed in his blood...a death worthy of the list...of the Tribunal.''

* What's the Tribunal? ''The greatest honour...of them all.''

* Where is Dribbles' corpse? ''Mistress needed his body parts...for her art...''

[[Lucretious]] moves towards the stage area after the attack. Speaking with her starts the quest, as she requests the party find what is left of Dribbles in exchange for fabulous rewards. As a necromancer, Lucretious even preferres the clown dead and raised to a living employee.

=== Collecting Dribbles's remains ===

==== Hand ====

[[Clown's Severed Hand|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 are stopped by Popper, who says it is his "special hand." Alternatively, If the party has found [[Note from BUSINESSLORD POPPER]] (buried behind the Dribbles' stage) they can simply confront Popper about the hand in conversation.

If Popper is asked why the hand is so special, he would explain he had to fight some rats for it, and therefore it costs 10,000 gold. To counter the cheeky kobold, the player will have a variety of lines to attempt to get the severed hand from him for free:

==== Torso ====

 

[[Clown's Severed Torso|Dribbles' Torso]] can be found during [[Solve the Open Hand Temple Murders]], or simply when exploring the [[Open Hand Temple]]. To get to the torso's location, the player should use a hatch in the kitchen {{Coords|-62|3}}. There are pools of blood which can be followed to the actual murder site. However, bloody puddles abruptly stop in front of what appears to be a solid stone wall.

Once inside the secret tunnels, three doppelgangers immediately become hostile. After defeating the doppelgangers, Dribbles's torso can be looted off the dead body of [[Penela Lumpensicks]] {{Coords|63|-1028}}, alongside with the first of [[Orin's Ritual Note]]s.

 

[[Clown's Severed Arm|Dribbles' Arm]] is in the Lower City in the [[Peartree House]] {{Coords|32|-96}} located southeast of [[Sorcerous Sundries]]. The Peartree House is a boarded-up building, so the barricade need to be destroyed before entering. It is declared a restricted area, so breaking into it will mke the nearest Flaming Fist patrol hostile.

==== Foot ====

[[Clown's Severed Foot|Dribbles' Foot]] is in the basement of the [[Rainforest's Home]] {{Coords|-93|-109}} located between [[Beehive General Goods]] and [[The Bibliophile]] shops, southeast of [[The Blushing Mermaid]] tavern. It can be entered by either lockpicking the front door, or taking in the rear: from the balcony or through the door under it, using [[Fly]], [[Misty Step]], [[Arrow of Transposition]] or simply jumping high enough. The front door is red-outlined, and the street patrolled by a group of Flaming Fist.

[[Clown's Severed Pelvis|Dribbles' Pelvis]] is in the [[Lower City]], in an empty lodging northwest of the Basilisk Gate {{Coords|123|4}}, adjacent to the barracks' wall. Looting the body of [[Gohumberry Tresp]] grants the clown's pelvis and next note from Orin.

==== Head ====

 

[[Clown's Severed Head|Dribbles' Head]] is in the [[Undercity Ruins]]. To obtain the access to it, the party must first resolve the [[Impress the Murder Tribunal]] quest in any preferred way. A composition of chained together dead bodies can be found to the north of the Temple of Bhaal waypoint {{Coords|-65|1041}}Loot the corpse of [[Wilting Alex]] to find the head, and gain a final Orin's note.
