While the rest of the party sleeps, Asteris and the halflings return to the surface. Lor and Nor agree to take over the above-ground watch for Arthas, who returns to the subsurface with his celestial ally. When the other companions awaken, the party proceeds to the second level of the dungeon. The heroes allow some painted men to point the way to the Anomalous Subsurface Circus, a huge underground carnival. They stroll the midway for a while, but mostly avoid the various activities there, such a Whack-A-Gnome and the Dunking Tank. After exploring the animal cages, it's time for the show to begin! The circus barker, Barnabus, leads the party to their seats in the big top. The show starts off slowly, with a less-than-impressive trapeze routine performed by the Bundini Twins. But the second act is much more exciting: a tyrannosaur runs into the arena and begins devouring spectators. The heroes manage to kill the dinosaur, but the show has been disrupted. Barnabus acts for time to throw together a second show, while the party returns to the midway. This time, the heroes explore further into the surrounding passages. In one direction, they find various carnival equipment, including an eerie carousel and a Ferris wheel. In another, they find strange murals and a secret pedestal displaying crystal skulls. Finally, they make their way to the offices of Dr. Giggles, a nearby surgeon. After convincing the receptionist that Malak has an appointment, and dealing with the insurance details, they wait patiently in the waiting room. Everyone who plays gains 2,500 XP
