I'd put good money that you are an exuberant fighter... You're hitting ! (exclamation mark) - it is a design feature. You are not being thrown "back" to the shell. You are nesting "into" a shell. Simply exit from the shell and you will be back in the game. Since the fighting isn't in realtime you might want to slow down the combat (and hence the keystrokes)... Fun time waster eh?
