->I'll give you this much. You might get along with [[WouldHurtAChild this guy]]. He calls himself Mr Wizard, but he's another shitbag just like you. Now get out of here.

And like Booker T says, once they start, [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown they do it until they're satisfied]].

->[[EvilSorcerer Cavendish]] then announces that the tent will be opening the following night for gambling. However, the stakes have subtly increased. On a subliminal level, some gamblers realize that the Ringmaster [[YourSoulIsMine holds their souls]], and they go home to nightmares. By the time the circus leaves an area, Cavendish has collected numerous souls to feed the [[EldritchAbomination Board of Directors]] as well as skim off the top to purchase sections of his own soul back. The last nights of the circus in an area find the tent full of desperate gamblers attempting to win their souls back. The smarter ones attempt to strike up various deals with Cavendish, even sacrificing innocents and loved ones to make the damning dreams stop.
