Gain Zenmai

This quest is no longer obtainable after a game update on the 14th Feb 2007, but characters with the quest in their log can still complete it. It was replaced by Chasing Zenmai, which is obtained from Dinja in Consulate Docks.

Objectives

 * Investigate the corpse Zenmai dragged to the city.
 * Defeat the demons.
 * Recruit Zenmai.
 * See Imperial Guardsman Linro for your reward.

Reward

 * 1,500 Experience
 * Zenmai joins your party.

Walkthrough
Exit Kaineng Center and talk to Zenmai. A group of four Blades of Corruption will come down the stairs and attack. Kill them, talk to Zenmai a second time, then return to Imperial Guardsman Linro for your reward.

Initial dialogue
Imperial Guardsman Linro
 * "Sunspear! I have something you should probably look into.  I turned a crazy young girl named Zenmai away from the gates because she was attempting to drag the corpse of a strange creature into the city.  It is probably just a plague-ridden beast.  However, I have heard the tales of horrible monsters in your homeland, so perhaps you should take a look.  She is just outside the gates.  Report back to me afterward.  If these creatures have come to Cantha, I shall need to notify my superiors."

Intermediate dialogue
Zenmai
 * "Stranger! Please, I need your aid.  I killed this horrid creature.  However, because I am "mo zing"... an Assassin without a Master...the leaders will not listen to me.  I have never seen its like, and there are many more roaming these lands.  The gate guard thought this...thing...was nothing more than a plague-ridden beast.  But I know better... By the gods!  What is that?"

Zenmai
 * "Sidestep left, slip dagger between the ribs.... You creatures die just like anything else."

Zenmai
 * "One will. One Strike.  One dead demon."

Zenmai
 * "You fight well, Stranger. And you seem to know something about these creatures....  Demons, you say?  Yet I suspect a human hand behind this."

Zenmai
 * "You should speak to Guardsman Linro about this situation. Cantha is definitely in danger.  It seems that my destiny now lies across the sea.  I shall help you hunt the source of this danger."

Reward dialogue
Imperial Guardsman Linro
 * "By the gods! Demons in Cantha?  I shall alert my superiors immediately.  Thank you, Sunspear.  You bring honor to your Order.  May our peoples continue to ally against the forces of darkness for as long as the sun rises in the morning and sets in the evening."
