As far as the trigger is concerned, I am not sure. But I recommend walking. It does not matter where you are walking. If you do not know the terrain well then you can go to and fro or go in circles.

Notes:
1. Standing and waiting need not be successful. Note the usual method of completing the monk quest: climb the town gates, go (you yourself [img]smile.gif[/img] ) to bed, and when you awake next morning, the quest will be done.
2. The area where you are waiting for monsters matters. Do not expect a fast gaining of XP in the Valeia region, including the environment of the Serpent Temple. If you want to speed up things then try Ishad N'Ha region (west of the town). The area begins with a sufficient piece of a single path, which you can stroll to its end and back to the town. But do not go too far. Otherwise, you will meet the salads.
Another good possibility at low levels is entering the Serpent Temple and waiting for random encounters with Serpent Priests (ca 600 XP each) but you must be able to cast Cure Poison or have bags of Cure Poison potions ready.
3. Do not forget to set monster spawning to "often" in the game options.
