too much of a problem if you get lucky and the eye escapes the enclosure with only a few HP left and the party reacts quickly enough.I beleive, nowever, killing that eye when it is at full or near full HP is an improbable task for a level 1 party and if you don't kill it quickly enough, it (and the evil sorcerer) will disappear, ending the battle.
The chests are another matter entirely. I have never been able to get inside their respective enclosures to get close enough to even try to open one of those chests and certainly, I am guessing, they must be trapped so a level 1 party would be killed instantly.
