Thanks for your input, thats an interesting idea for a battle system! I found a video on youtube that pretty accuratly shows the type of system I am wanting to mirror, .

Let me mock up what it'd look like on the pretend client end:
[Cave enterance (Exits: N, S)]
> N

[Cave 1 (Exits: E, S, W)]
> E

[Cave 2 (Exits: N, W)]
> N

[Cave 5 (Exits: N, S)]
You notice a Cave troll and bats in the cave.
> Engage Cave troll

==========================
From here, you enter combat, putting you in a new room instance seperate from Cave 5. The cave troll only has about have your speed, so you are able to attack twice a often.
==========================
