Episode 11: The Freakshow.

Gem has shown the party the animals and creatures in the zoo, but has not yet shown them the exhibit she is technically a part of: The Freakshow. After rounding up some cool magic items from a strange shopkeep and winning some prizes from more games, Gem takes the party through the intimidating Freakshow. Inside are various people, creatures, and perhaps even monsters that stretch the definition of their existence. Here, there are some other “friends” Gemevieve has made over the years. They meet with Adonis, a dryad who speaks cryptically of a tree he wishes to return home to, along with some other notable characters: a winged creature with a high pitched voice named Moth, a person who can turn into mist and back again named Priscani, a spider-like lady named Calyn, and, most notably, a demon creature who threatens the party in multiple ways. On their way out, they speak with a rock person by the name of Dorokhov, who begins to help the party formulate plans of escaping the circus thanks to his knowledge of disabling the shock collars around their necks. As the party goes to retire for the night, Sterling teases that they also have another friend of theirs captured as well, a certain person that Gemevieve has been missing for all these years in particular.
