[edit] Walkthrough

In theory you should complete this quest through the correct application of healing and protection spells. However, the easiest way to complete the quest is to simply aggro the enemy warrior yourself. Sister Tai will heal you from the warrior's attacks and you can simply wait out the timer. This method is especially useful for Warriors taking a Monk Secondary, as they have less energy and less energy regeneration.

You can also complete the quest by dealing enough damage to the hostile Warrior Student so that he turns non-hostile.

[edit] Dialogue

[edit] Initial dialogue

Sister Tai

"Yundin Circle is the practice area where the Warriors train. We Monks can assist in their training as we practice our own craft. By healing them as they spar, we extend their training sessions and allow them to practice with real weapons."

"Walk over to Yundin Circle and relieve one of the other students from duty."

Accept: "I'm ready to help."

Decline: "Real weapons? I don't think so."

When asked about quest: "Relieve the other student at Yundin Circle and heal the Warriors as they train."

[edit] Intermediate dialogue

Monk Student: "Do not be discouraged if you have some difficulty at first. It is very challenging to play the role of Healing Monk."

Monk Student: "I am finally starting to get it, I think. First, watch your party's Health at all times, and apply healing when needed."

Monk Student: "Also, monitor your own Health and Energy levels. It is not easy, but with practice, it gets easier."

Monk Student: "Time for me to go, now. Good luck with your training!"

Sister Tai: "<Player Name>, come and stand here next to me so that I may assist you during this exercise."

Sister Tai: "Now, these Warriors are relying on us, just as they would in battle, to keep them alive so that they can continue to fight. Let us try to keep them at full Health, shall we?"

Sister Tai: "Keep an eye on your target's Health level and use your skills to provide healing."

Sister Tai: "Energy is your most important resource, so watch it carefully. If you are careless, your charge will suffer for it."

Sister Tai: "Impressive. Well, it looks like the Warriors are done practicing for the day, so I suppose we are, too."

[edit] Reward dialogue

Sister Tai

"Headmaster Amara was right to put her faith in you. You will be a great Monk one day."

[edit] Notes

Bug.

If you kill any Mantids in range of the Monk Students after completing the quest, they will sometimes resurrect them.

Bug.

If you kill the hostile Warrior Student with spike damage the Monk Student will resurrect him. The warrior will remain hostile in this case.

Bug.

Sometimes neither the warriors nor the monk students will appear, so there is nothing to heal. No solution known.
