Actually, I've done it before almost right out of the first dungeon, with only the Slavers quest at the Copper Coronet preceding it, but you have to go in with the right preparation.

Fellas, fellas, fellas... it wasn't so hard if you employ the same dirty tactics that most bosses do. Ok, first, once that monster summoning thing started, I ran back to the door, and they all the monsters killed each other, leaving only the Glabrezu and the Efreeti in mist form. So I take Anomen (with that amulet from the bonus merchant tat gives permanent PFE), main character Cavalier, and Keldorn to fight him. Since I had PFE, he totally ignored me while i kicked his sorry butt. Then I went for the Efreeti, but it took a little longer due to the mist. Finally go up the stairs, and use my dirty but not quite 'cheap' tactics. I make the fools come to me. I casually walk back down the stairs, and what do you know? Two of them followed me. Killed them. Did that twice more, and they were all gone. And I was only at level 11.

It also had something to do with Nalia's fiancee. I found Isea's documents on Shangalar's corpse and just sat ther puzzled for about 10 mins...

Wow, that's funny... Isaea was thrown in jail a long time ago. Who was Shangalar, by the way? It sounds familiar, but I don't ever pay attention to the names of bit parts.
