Reward

• 100 Experience
• 10 Gold

3. Stale Mate

This quest is given by Sister Tai.

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. An easier way for warriors would be to simply attack the enemy monk student until he is no longer hostile.
