Notable loot
- You can get a wearable Clown Nose (−1 Personality, +1 Luck. Face slot.) if you participate in the circus show.
- Inside the crashed plane there are 2 locked cases with 1000 rubles each.
Circus show
You can enter the circus tent by paying a small fee of 15 rubles to the old woman at the entrance (this action grants you 16 XP).
Talking to anyone in the crowd will give you the opportunity to get closer to the stage. If you choose to do so, you will watch the show of the Great Ufficio the Magician, who will eventually drag you on stage. First the magician will ask you to complete an incantation : there is no good answer but you will receive 16 XP nonetheless. Then the magician will ask you to perform a trick. You have 4 options to choose from; inside each option, you can choose between 3 skill checks of increasing difficulty, with increasing XP reward (16 ; 32 or 48 XP) :
- tell a joke (Personality skill checks)
- dance (Dexterity skill checks)
- do a card trick (Gambling skill checks)
- show off your strength (Strength skill checks)
Only the amount of XP granted depends on the level of difficulty: you will receive the Clown Nose anyway if you pass the test. But you will not receive it or any XP should you fail the skill check you chose.
Quests
- Some rats to kill. Then a Rat King. One of the guards at the towers, Nicholas, will pay you for it, alternatively you receive a Bear Mask.
- Barbara the Bearded Lady psychic and Yana the THICC harpy have an argument. Talk to Barbara (at the bonfire), then to Yana, then to Ivan the Crane (beak guy on the boxes behind Yana), and finally back to the ladies.
Miniquests
- You can mistake a woman touring the circus (seemingly called Roxy in the Russian wiki) for a performer when you first speak to her. If you meet her again after succeeding in the circus show (see above), you can perform a little trick for her (skill check of Personality or Dexterity) and earn 10 rubles and 16 XP.
- Watching Gutsy the Clown's trick (it costs 10 rubles) will grant you 32 XP. Convincing him to show you his secret will earn you 75 XP (you can also bribe him for 100 rubles).
