Is there a way to dispell the whole circus tent illusion without killing the circusfreak(can´t remember his name) who made it?

No.

And why would you want to leave the Mighty Kalah live? He is a bad, bad, bad gnome.

Well... He´s only bad cause all those awful people laugh at him. "I fight for the little men".

My whole beef with the Circus Tent is how pathetic everything is. You dispel some Werewolves, kill some Shadows (who were undoubtedly real) and kill Kalah, and your glorious victory parade consists of....two roulette wheels and an arrogant Gnome. This is it? THIS was the circus? Excuse me, but how do I turn it back into a palace?

Lol yeah, the palace looks so much better. Go Kalah!

You can dispel the werewolves? I always just ignore them as they can't hurt you until you attack (remember to turn off AI) and that excludes the one's in kalah's final lair. It's even easier solo to waltz through the whole thing, shoot kalah with a poisoned bolt of biting then turn invisible.

The reallyt sad thing is that the rest of the populace are *so* excited about it re-opening. Have none of them seen entertainment at the Copper Coronet?

Urm... the circus is more than just that tent. Recall the animals and weird contraptions outside the tent. They be part of the circus too.

Oh, yeah....when I'm done looking at the roulette wheels (you can't even gamble on them, like you could in BG1), I can go outside and watch a Snake caught in an endless loop, and enjoy the sight of a Moose locked in a cage too small to even turn around in. Whoopee. (blows party favor) I pity Keldorn's kids: They got dragged to that pitiful tent twice in the same week.

I once thought up a Copper Coronet MOD where you could win the CC as your Stonghold, and if you were of Good alignment, you could have the gladitorial pits in the back filled in, and in the resulting arena would go....the circus! A REAL circus this time, with dancing Bears and knife throwers and a Lion Tamer and magic shows. ("Come see me, swallow flaming knives!") Now that would be more like it.

Actually considering that it seems to be Quayle who's running the circus it's quite impressive. There's a good freak show if you like wing stubs.

ehm, it seems everyone is forgetting the setting.
remember, this is a world where 95% of the population never leaves their home town.

and to such folk, huge snakes, elks and other rarities are a treat.
and did everyone find all the machines? the submarine?
and how about that huge dragon armor.

as for the elk, charm him with minsc, and turn him whatever way you like. i love charming squirrels, mice, cats and rats. sure, they add no real value to your party, but i wanted to have my own boo, even if just for a little while.
