Monster occupying inner locations will attack nobles entering them _if_
the monster doesn't require a special item to defeat.  Also note that you
can attack inner locations w/o entering them by using the '1' parameter
to your attack order:

attack xxXx 1

this saves you a day since you don't occupy the inner location and then
have to 'move out'.

You'll be safe if the occupying monsters require an artifact to defeat.
You'll be able to 'move in' and collect whatever resources the inner
location produces.  Note that cities are the _only_ inner location where
you're allowed to 'recruit'.
