My lvl 1 fighter entered a CoC filled with giants and hydras
I arrived at the Caves of Chaos after a wilderness trek full of ambushes, although i had not killed much and was still a level 1 human fighter. After descending to CoC:1, i found myself in a room with several stone giants, fomorian giants, and hydras. Not capable of dispatching even the least of these, i began luring them out to the wilderness. As i explored the level, i discovered that it had been generated entirely with H's and F's. I began to see some rats, bats, and goblins as i cleared the level of the initial occupants, until i got bashed one time too many by the giantfolk. I don't know if this is a bug or just a colossally unlucky character, but if i hadn't been able to lose all the big guys in the wilderness i would have been very screwed. This doesn't strike me as something that should happen on the first level of the main dungeon.
