I am sure they simply used it so you had a bunch of enemies to try out the PCs powers on.Don't read too much into the play this adventure as RAW. Most of the GM advice (and the part we locked onto) was playtesting to see if this game would suit our 'play style' - so we placed the caves into a setting we have used and ran it for 5 sessions straight using all the tips and tricks we have learnt over the many years of playing.I did not want to 'dumb down our game' to make sure we were playtesting the 'adventure' right. We just wanted to playtest the rules and the character options. That to me doesn't require adhering to the exact 'encounters' set out in the adventure. I did all I could to make the basic sandbox of the Caves of Chaos interesting for our group...and it worked...and we got to see how the core rules and charater powers worked.I am sure all the stuff talked about will be in the future DM stuff. Also, more thought-through adventures will appear.Anyway, it worked with our style. We did have some issues, such as encouraging full hp healing, but fortunately my players didn't choose to just rest. But more likely, like another player here, we had extra PCs too. I am sure all styles and groups with different make up can provide meaningful feedback.I was also just adding options that the OP asked for too BTW. That is what we did. It worked for us <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
