The net resut of this function is nothing. It assigns values, then
they're lost when the function returns. A function is the wrong way to
deal with these three names.

Same here.

You probably want to have two parameters, player and monster

This function makes no sense to me. A function should have three
well-defined pieces: what are its parameters, what does it do, what are
its side-effects, and what does it return. This function is confusing
on all of those.

What you should want is a class for each type of character. At its
simplest, the class can be a storage place for related named
attributes.
You could make a class Player, which defines attributes called hp,
speed, and attack. Then later on you can refer to one of those
attributes with synatax like james.attack
class Player:
def __init__(self):
self.hp = 10
self.speed = 5
self.attack = random.randint(0,5)
Now, you create a player by
james = Player()
and the monster by
behemoth = Monster()
and you pass them into the function battle, by
result = battle(james, behemoth)
Inside the function, you'd say player.attack to see that random value.
And monster.speed to see behemoth's speed.
