"Greetings traveller... me? Why I am Sozo of course! Researcher of all things mushrooms... guess that makes me a fun-guy! Just a little joke Sozo likes to tell. Yes, yes! Mushrooms! Mushrooms are Sozo's passion. But Sozo need more! Sozo always need more... You will collect for Sozo, yes? Yes! Sozo can't trust my followers out there. They lie, they steal, they whisper secrets about Sozo. I JUST KNOW IT! Sozo will do anything! I'll worship at your altar! Sozo will devote myself to your cause! I'LL RIP OFF YOUR HEAD! Ahem... Sozo will show you how to use the power of the mushrooms to open the fragile little minds of your Followers! But you do not need to use it on Sozo! Oh no! Sozo will follow willingly. As long as you keep bringing Sozo mushrooms, Sozo will do anything. Take the path to Anura and find Sozo mushrooms! You may not have seen them before, but now you seek them, they shall be there now."

"Yes! Yes! Give Sozo give Sozo GIVE SOZO! Excellent... Excellent! But not ENOUGH. Bring Sozo more and Sozo will show you how to brainwash those Followers of yours. Sozo supposes you want something for your efforts? Of course! Sozo always pays his debts. Take this.

"Yes, YES! These will do just fine! Okay, Sozo will share with you this ritual, but you must not show anyone! Stand back... or you will get brainwashed too."
