== History ==
For a decade, Dumpty Dumpling was the headline act at the Circus of the Last Days. However, Dumpty's love of clowning was fading. During one of his performances, Norris Greene volunteered himself when Dumpty called for one from the crowd. Norris quickly enthralled the crowd with his quick wit and one-liners. Lucretious, seeing his potential, offered Norris a job on the spot. {{cite text|name=ouch}}

=== 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. [[The Great Old One|Great Old One]] [[Warlock|Warlocks]] can attempt to see through the clown disguise with a {{Ability check|Insight|25}}, with [[Rogue]] multiclasses gaining advantage. Passing the check allows the character to cautiously go on stage, allowing the party to preemptively strike on the evil clown.


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.
