In this entry, we check out the town of Ivor Tower, then see the freak show.

Ivor Tower Town
Thankfully, the path isn't long.
The first thing you'll notice is all the storefronts north of the entrance. This is a market that is somewhat like what you saw in Nobilia. One of the booths sells tickets to Percival Plank's Exhibition of Oddities, the freak show in town, and tickets cost one Amulet of Annihilation. You'll need the ticket in order to continue on with the game, so get that first!
You'll also notice you'll have to get some new currency...again. In Gothica, the local currency is Gold Coins, so be prepared to exchange your Jewels for Gold Coins. You can also buy the Oracle Bone for a Jeweled Scarab and a Golden Jackal. Buy it, because you're going to need the Oracle Bone later.
There are also booths west of the entrance. One of them gives you a second chance to buy back the charms you got rid of earlier, so you should definitely not pass that up. There is also an armor dealer here. If you have the money and three Amulets of Annihilation to throw around, get the armor here. You definitely won't regret it!
If you look behind the houses, you'll find hidden entrances to parts of houses you usually wouldn't be able to access normally. You'll be able to find three Amulets of Annihilation this way, so make good use of it.
North of the western part of the market is the freak show. When you use your ticket to go in, The Dog will have to be left behind. The Dog will chase after a cat, but somebody will grab The Dog and kidnap him for who knows what.
One of the houses belongs to the alchemist known as Lance. You'll find out which one it is by entering houses and talking to people. When you're in it, go inside and look around, but don't...touch...anything! When you leave, Lance will come up the stairs and ask you what you're doing. Because you didn't take anything, he'll give you a new spell that is really, really awesome: Lance.

The Freak Show
After seeing Mr. Head, the Unigoat, and Mungola (or the lack thereof), you'll finally see the Pigpoodle...your dog in a pig mask. He'll run away, then he run around aimlessly outside before he unintentionally participates in a pig race...and wins. You become the guest of honor at the queen's banquet. You show up at the banquet hall...but the dog doesn't. Instead, The Dog is about to become the meal!
Thankfully, The Dog escapes into a ventilation shaft...but now you're in a maze. Now the game has you spending time with The Dog.
