    Synopsis:

    Main dialog for the ringmaster - a necromancer lady and the owner of the circus. She has her own tent where she trains dancing skeleton troupe, but after combat with Dribbles she runs to the combat scene and will ask player some questions.

    How to trigger:

    Bottom branch - simply approach her and speak to her.
    Middle branch - approach the stage with dribbles, 1,1,1 through the dialogue, do killcombat in recon. Lucretious will walk towards the stage, and you can get the Dribbles quest then.
    Top branches - accept the quest/finish the quest.
