Dialogue
 * "Most who choose the ways of light do so because they are called by Dwayna to heal and protect others. We Monks, however, must also learn when to call on Balthazar.  Smiting Prayers allow us to cause damage to our enemies, especially the vile undead.  Which brings me to our problem."

Followup

Walkthrough
Mhenlo teaches you two skills to help you:

Go out the portal to Lakeside County. To the north you will see some Ascalon Farmers fighting a group of Raging Cadavers and Skeleton Raiders. You can join in the fray if you like, but if you hold back for a while, the farmers will take care of most of the enimies for you. Once all the Undead are disposed of, return to Ashford Abbey and talk to Brother Mhenlo for your reward.
