Assault turn-in npc is Taoshi at Mistfall Village /way 37.31 79.24
My quest marker was pointing to the version of her sitting on the gate but she is actually outside Silent Sanctum. Head toward the mountain outside and you'll see her (or head into the silent sanctum to get the quest marker to show up on the minimap)
