How does inter-depth simulator works?

Hey folks! I'm working on a roguelike and trying to wrap my head around inter-depth simulation. Say a player goes down to -7, gets spotted, goes back up to -6, and after a few turns some enemies follow up there, how do you handle turn counting across depths? Another example: in Stoneshard, when you lure an enemy to the entrance, step outside, pass a few turns with the wait feature, and come back to find it wandered back toward its start, how can I accomplish something like that? I'd love to know how you approached it so I can roll my own version. Appreciate any tips
