Turnbased Combat in TGE?

How possible would it be to make a turnbased combat system in TGE? For example, you are walking around and all the sudden a monster attacks! (*dumdedumdedum dum!!*) How hard would it be to move you to a new map and start turn-based combat in TGE?

@Karl - not very difficult at all. I played with turn-based combat in torque a while back and it's no problem at all. If you can handle writing a turn based game in any programming language, then you can do it in torque. If you have taken any programming classes or gone thru any begining programming books then you should be fine. As for loading into a new map... that's probably not a good idea with torque... you should just either set up the combat to take place right there in the map with preset player positions and camera positions or setup a fight location somewhere else in the map that is out of reach for the player.
