Dialogue
 * "I encourage you to take the Skill Chaining course. Combining skills for maximum overall effect is one of the most effective tactics for achieving victory in battle, and this course demonstrates the concept beautifully. It is a difficult but important lesson. Are you ready?"
 * ''"By accepting this quest you will abandon other advanced training quests and put yourself into a separate training arena from the rest of your party, if applicable."

Intermediate Dialogue 1 (Sujun)
 * "Welcome to the Skill Chaining course. This will be a difficult challenge, but it will help you to prepare for nearly anything you might encounter. Panaku and I will fight you together. All we require is that you do your best."

Intermediate Dialogue 2 (Sujun)
 * "Ready...begin!"

Intermediate Dialogue 3 (Panaku)
 * "You fight well, for a novice. This challenge proved your merit, but you will face more difficult ones when you leave the confines of the monastery. Go back to Instructor Ng and report on your progress. You have earned the right."

Reward Dialogue
 * "You are progressing quite well. You have now completed the Skill Chaining course. It is perhaps the most important class we offer. This knowledge will serve you well as you adventure in Cantha and beyond."

Walkthrough
After you have accepted the quest you must talk to Instructor Ng again and choose the "I want to enter the arena" option. This will teleport you to the Shing Jea Dojo where you will meet your sparring partners. Talk to Sujun twice to start the actual fight. The status of both Sujun and Panaku switches from green (NPC) to red (foe) and you will be attacked.

If you have Warrior as one of your two professions, use Balanced Stance followed by Drunken Blow and any other skills as required. Concentrate on one foe and when their status changes to green, switch to the other one, using the same combination of Balanced Stance followed by Drunken Blow. The second foe will soon turn green. Generally, the two skills you gain for each profession will combine well enough to assist you in defeating the opponents.

When you have achieved the goal (you must bring down the health of your opponent(s) to about 30%, not kill them) their status will switch back to green. The gate of the Dojo will open and you can return to the Monastery and talk to Ng again for your reward.
