I am trying my darnest to write a trigger set to slow walk, stop and kill things, but I am not having much luck...

The problem I have, is that if I made a trigger that does a #stop if I see a mob in a room, the ^[exit: trigger has already gone off because the exit line is before the mob line....

Here is what a normal room would look like after entering it...

You have stepped into beauty incarnate. The tapestries hung from the polished
marble pillars seem to move with life, the furniture is plush yet stately.
Everything together suggests an air of godliness and power, yet is not
imposing. As would be expected from the son of Zeus.

Set the #STOP trigger to something lower, like your prompt. Since you'll get the prompt a number of times for a number of actions, create or modify your prompt trigger so that it checks a status variable tied into whether you found a critter to hunt or not. This variable would be set within whatever trigger you're using to match the critter line, and can be cleared by another trigger on the critter death-message. Alternatively, you could require an alias to resume your walking.
