Special Ability: You may set aside a N.T. human for three turns. If you do, remove this card from the game after battle.

So if I play an interrupt, would it also interrupt the special ability on the Maid?

Ok, I am just figuring out that if I play with a N.T. white female hero deck, then there is not much I can do about it then!?!?

Interrupt the battle works on ongoing abilities AND the last instant ability played (if it was played by an opponent). The only thing is getting initiative to play the interrupt which can happen by numbers or, as MKC said, removal from battle by an opponent.

So if they were trying to do it on my only N.T. hero in battle, then I can interrupt her ability

Type: Evil Enh. • Brigade: Black • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Interrupt the battle and return a human Evil Character to owner's hand. • Identifiers: None • Verse: I Kings 1:5 • Availability: Kings booster packs (Common)

so if i remove a hero in territory can i play this card so i dont get removed?

I thought it was ruled that you don't get to Interrupt your own ability that is causing your removal.

I think since this is a delayed removal, if you remove your character before it triggers then you're safe. The times you cannot interrupt your own removal is like Samson's Sacrifice-type cards.

Exactly. HPM isn't causing her own removal until after the battle. For a similar ruling, see Assyrian Archer/2k Horses/Forgotten History combo. The hero discard is instant, so it can't be interrupted by ITB cards, but the archer discard is a delayed trigger, which is ongoing, and can be interrupted by an ITB card.
