Show a way to make monsters speak at spawn time.

Even when events are inserted before game state update time,
the monsters don't speak since they still don't have an id (-1).

As I thought that reworking the mapcomposite engine for that particular
point was ineffective, here is another working way to make monsters
speak at spawn time by using the schedule_in function with
0.3 second (or 3 ticks).

Resolves: Mana-Mantis #205.
