Completed the quest "An Unknown Ally"

Dialogs:

NPC:/fact If you defeated Dochul, you may be strong enough to finally destroy the real ruler of this awful place. But there is another threat you must conquer first.

NPC:/talk Sojung and her disciples dwell in the Vineviper Garden, only emerging when they desire to feed on the hapless fools that have been trapped here. She too must die, if you wish to face her mistress.

NPC:/talk To reach Sojung, you have two choices. You can either storm the shorter path, defeat her Oni, and claim their Anti-Poison Talismans... or you can take the Whispering Street, and attempt to limit unnecessary fighting.

NPC:/contend If you choose Whispering Street, be sure to pick some Fresh Iris and present them to the Resting Courtesans that dwell there. They may provide information which could help you in the fight ahead.

NPC:/contend Whichever path you choose, be sure to collect two Large Mistsong Keys along the way. Then find Disguised Namese outside the Vineviper Garden, and prepare to face Sojung herself.
