I'm not sure why this code isn't printing... Can someone tell me?

[mpd]

What do you get if you add a print statement before the if ad == "Attack":

if decision == "Yes":
    print "You decide to continue on with your journey!"
    print "You descend into the first room..."
    print "But there is a monster blocking your path!"
    print "Do you 'Attack' or 'Defend'?"
    ad = input("Attack or Defend? ")

print("ad = " + ad)

if ad == "Attack":
    print "You decide to attack the monster!"
    print "You do " + int(hero_att) + " with your " + hero_weapon + "!"

(Also, unless you have a really good reason for using Python 2, you should really work with Python 3.)
