A large circus tent just showed up one day in the area. The item has no known history of it being there in the past, much like a true traveling circus. The people of Sosshi have been keeping clear of it, though it looks and smells inviting. It looks either very new, or very well cared for. No dirt nor filth collects on its sides. The tent itself is colored cream and red stripes with butterscotch yellow curtains around the entrance. The smell of funnel cake, popcorn, and corn dogs wafting from inside. At the top of the entrance there's a colorful butterscotch yellow letters surrounded by a thick red outline, and cream everywhere else. The sign said 'The Spiral Circus! Get lost for a fee! Fun for everyone'. The sound of a calliope playing an upbeat tune could be heard anywhere half a meter from the building, playing all hours of the day.

FLOOR DESCRIPTION:

The doorway is covered by a butterscotch colored curtain. At the left side of the door there is a red pull string as well as a cream colored one. Pulling the cream pull string will open the butterscotch colored curtains, showing red curtains. The red pull string pulls those curtains back. One can enter without moving the curtains back, but doing this would allow individuals to see the pitch black look of the doorway. The group entering the dungeon will cause the curtains to close behind them, but that wont stop someone from leaving if they so desire. There is a butterscotch yellow carpet with red trimming that leads up to the doorway and continues through past the curtains.  It looks as clean as the tent, and everything else.

And their specializations are hex and curse, defense creation, and restraining.

  
  

When you first enter the dungeon, the first thing that becomes apparent is the room. It looks like late at night, lit by a number of candle lanterns, making it easy to find your way. Surrounded by hills, you walk in a location that appears to be a parking lot for carriages. Though there are not any carriages there, there is evidence of animal and wheel tracks, indicating that there have been people who have traveled across.  The ground of the lot is cleared dirt, with some stone in areas to indicate where people should park to keep everything orderly. At the end of the parking lot, there are four toll booths, with a number of toll booth marionettes. The only way to get to the second room is to defeat the monsters, as they will not let you pass without a fight. Each one will drop a toll booth ticket after they're destroyed. After the monsters are gone, the party can walk past the booths towards the next room.


You begin with entering the second room, which will lead the group to an area that still looks like it is night outside. There are two rows of closed booths that would offer food or games if they were open. One at the far left of the room, and the other at the far right. All of them face towards those entering. In the center of the area are a few wooden benches for people to sit while they eat or rest. This leads up to a big circus tent. There are bright lanterns that are hanging on the multitudes of booths, lighting up the general area, with the cleaner clowns walking around to clean up the trash and mess on the ground. The cleaner clowns seem like they might be communicating with each other, but with only honks coming out..one can only guess. They will attack if any notice you, which it will be impossible for none to not. To get to the second floor, one must go to the large circus tent and enter. The circus tent is a deep red and yellow striped color, with a staircase leading up the entrance. The staircase is covered with a deep red velvet carpet.

It's at the staircase that the name of the circus, or rather dungeon, may become apparent. At the first half of the staircase, is before entering the circus tent with the nice fine carpet. It is when one tries to enter, that one may find themselves on a very different staircase. This one is plain stone with hanging lanterns on the rails. The rails are made of wood, and the new area seems to start in the middle of a stone staircase going up a steep hill. The lanterns are off, and in this location, it looks as bright as day. The sky is blue and golden, like the beginning of the day. It seems like morning has arrived, and it's time to go into the first room of the second floor.

On top of the hill seems to be a large flat area, and the sky is golden and blue like the morning. The staircase starts connected to a parking lot. There are some brooms parked there as well as some carriages, but no people or animals. There are a number of lamp posts, but no candles are lit in them at the moment. The parking areas ground is covered in stone, with paint indicating where to park your transportation. The area surrounding the parking lot is covered in grass. At the end of the parking lot are three toll booths made out of wood and painted red, with cotton candy faeries chatting together. If you have taken the ticket from before and hand it to them, you will be let through without fuss.  If you do not have a ticket or do not hand it over, you will not be let through and will need to fight. The monster seems happy with any choice the visitors make. You will have to get past the toll booths to get the second room.


Here, there are two rows of booths with various games and foods. One at the far left of the room, and the other at the far right. All of them face towards those entering. In the center of the area are a few wooden benches for people to sit while they eat or rest. Though there is cooked food in the food areas and games that look open in the game areas, the only ones running any of the booths are the dart ballerinas. Trying to enter the area will cause them to become aggressive and fight your group. After defeating the monsters, you can play an assorted number of games, like hit the bottle, darts, and other carnival games..but there is no one to hand out the prizes, which would be a stuffed toy anyways. The foods are cooked and smell nice, and look edible..but do you really want to eat it? Eating it will have no adverse side effects. The foods include things like corn dogs, funnel cakes, circus peanuts, roasted peanuts, popcorn, pretzels, cotton candy, and drinks like pink lemonade, ginger beer, root beer, and strange fizzy concoctions. There are lanterns hanging off the various booths, but none are currently lit. It is bright like it is morning. At the end of all the booths is a large butterscotch yellow, and deep red striped circus tent. There is no staircase to it. Entering it will lead you to the third room.


The inside of the tent looks massive with a large amount of bleachers made out of wood. If you sit on the bleachers, they will wobble a bit, as if they may or may not hold your weight. Walking on it, jumping on it, will not cause it to fall or break. In the center are the ring snakes, which surround a ladder that goes upwards. The ladder reaches an area that looks to be a section typically where a tight rope walkers and acrobats would perform. You will have to fight the ring snakes in order to reach the ladder. There are no people on the bleachers, but there is pieces of trash and other items that seem to suggest that other people have been there. There is a calliope somewhere under one of the bleachers playing on its own. The tune is the song 'Organ Grinder's Serenade' and plays on repeat. Going up the ladder will take you to the next floor.

FLOOR DESCRIPTION:

The ladder seems to start off plain and wooden, but when someone reaches where the wooden platform should be, they reach a soft but firm sandstone platform that's part of a short staircase going down. At the top of the staircase, when you go up the platform you will be taken back to the third floor. Going down will lead you to the third floor. The staircase is a soft yellow hue and has firm, but soft-feeling sandstone rails with iron hanging lanterns, dimly lit with magic. It seems a little more clear why it's called the Spiral Circus, but maybe this time you will find what's at the end. The only way to find out is to continue forward.

The sound of a calliope playing the song 'circus life' can be heard through the entire location. It is a parking lot covered in a stone ground and surrounded by grass and trees. There is a location for landing and parking your broom, and areas for parking your carriage or wagon. There even seems to be an area at the very right for parking your flying boats. There are a few brooms in the broom area, which is at the far left. White paint marks where people are supposed to park their transportation. In the lot, there is a number of magic powered lantern posts. They're currently dimly lit within the darkening area. It currently looks to be evening during sunset. There are a few moths fluttering near the lights. There is some trash and a few items that seem to have been forgotten by random people, but no actual people at the location. The air smells of salted buttered popcorn, and corn dogs. At the end of the parking lot are three toll booths painted a nice butterscotch yellow color. The spider clowns seem to be trying to keep people out, so you're going to have to fight them to get in. The group will need to go past the toll booths to get to the second room.


This area has a number of different rides like a number of metal slides, with the shortest slide having a lavender color, an emerald colored tube slide, an especially wiggly slide of Easter yellow, and an extremely long spiral slide of Prussian blue. Another ride includes a very colorful carousel with ceramic and wooden horses, lions, and bunnies to ride. There is also a swing tower ride waiting for people to load on. Everything smells of cotton candy and funnel cake. But there doesn't seem to be any humans around. There are a multitude of lantern poles, dimly lit, and seem to have a twisted design on the pole area similar to a soft serve ice cream. The lantern appears to be made of glass and silver, holding a lit wick just above the oil contained within the lamp. It looks to be the late evening around sunset. The tune "Marching Through Georgia" is playing through a calliope that sits around the center of these rides, repeating the tune indefinitely. The carousel horse monsters seem to be mulling around as the group goes through the area. It is hard to tell if the horses are thinking or doing anything as their expressions don't change. If you get on the carousel ride, then they will wait until you are finished to attack you. Otherwise, they will just attack. You will have to walk through the area to get to the next location.


There are two rows of booths. One at the far left of the room, and the other at the far right. All of them face towards those entering. At the end of the room after all the booths at the center of all is a large circus tent with cream and red stripes. In the center of the area are a few wooden benches for people to sit while they eat or rest. The booths include a number of games, like dart, hit the bottle, pop the balloon, test your strength, and throwing a ring on items. There are also booths with food, like roasted chicken, hotdogs, buttered popcorn, cotton candy, caramel covered apples, funnel cakes, grilled corn, pink lemonade, beer, root beer, ginger beer, and roasted peanuts. Each booth seems to be painted in a bright color with large signs at the top of each booth. There are lanterns hanging off of the booths, dimly lit in the area. The time of day looks to be evening, around sunset. There seems to be a calliope somewhere playing "Over the Waves". There are a number of hot and buttered lions eating some roasted chicken by the time you get there. They plan to fight you no matter what, as you are seen as interrupting their meal time. Nobody gets between them and their roasted chicken. Entering the circus tent will lead you to the final room.
