I don't have much time to work on this now, but you should do something
like:
while mo_hp > 0 or my_hp > 0:
# combat stops when either combatant is dead
do_combat_round()
if mo_hp <= 0:
print "The Lich King has been slain!"
if my_hp <= 0:
print "You have been slain by the Lich King!"

Don't write print so many times.
I don't understand the question. If you want to print 20 things, then
you have to print 20 things. If that's too much printing, then only
print 10 of them :)
I suppose you could lump two or three things together, in one call to
print, by adding your own newlines into the strings. E.g. instead of
print "Menu Selections: "
print "1 - Attack"
print "2 - Defend"
print
you could write:
print "Menu Selections: \n1 - Attack\n2 - Defend\n\n"
but I don't really see that as an advantage. Probably better to wrap
common code into a function, then call the function:
def print_menu():
print "Menu Selections: "
print "1 - Attack"
print "2 - Defend"
print
print_menu()
choice = choose_from_menu()
etc.
