Big Top Ticket

A magical circus ticket granting safe passage inside the big top — Carl's only way to reach the vine.

Story so far

The Big Top Ticket is a magical ticket dropped by the circus clowns, admitting one adult to Grimaldi's big top show with guaranteed 'Safe Passage through the public areas only' — a guarantee Grimaldi may rescind for drunks or 'purveyors of violence,' and which does not extend into the three rings. Carl has looted several. Because Tsarina Signet is banished and her minions can't enter, the ticket is Carl's only route inside to collapse the big top's three center poles — a task in the vine-guarded rings designed for a party of three, not a solo crawler.
