The Circus That Sets Up Without Askin’
Three Bosses. One Tent. No Refunds.
They didn’t ask permission.
They didn’t leave tracks.
They just appeared.
A red and gold tent, strung up in the moonlight. Silent crowds inside. No laughter. Just applause. And when the party steps through that flap — they’ll wish they hadn’t.
This ain’t a show. It’s a fight in velvet drag — three bosses wired to each other like meat puppets, each built to unravel yer players’ strategy by the seams. They aren’t tragic. They aren’t sad. They’re just wrong. Circus-wrong.
🎤 Meet the Cast
Mirthos “The Velvet Noose”
Undead bard. Voice like silk. Soul like vinegar. Pulls the strings of the other two from across the ring with a grin on his dead lips and illusions sharper than steel. Built to control the fight — and the players.
Silka “Spindle-Limbs” Kreel
Alive. Barely. Bent backward by arcane strings. She melts across the walls like a spilled thought, and strikes from angles no one rehearsed. Perfect for close-range panic and psychological damage.
Barroch “Meatgrip” Muldoon
The muscle. The momentum. The cannonball in a man suit. He charges like a carriage with no brakes and lifts people the way kids lift dogs — badly and mid-fight.
🧵 How to Use This Freakshow in Yer Campaign
“Drop the tent when they least expect it. During travel. In a dream. On the site of a vanished town.”
This trio shines when:
Your table is too comfortable
You need a multi-phase boss fight that isn’t just “same guy, new form”
Your players love weird, creepy, or performative combat
You want a memorable side arc with minimal prep and maximum chaos

📌 “This ain’t a dungeon. It’s a curtain call. And they’re already takin’ bows, lad.”
