So i just got to Riften (lvl 32), and decided to take up some guy on joining the Thieves Guild. I'm at tbe quest where you need ti burn three beehives and loot a safe.

Things are going well, I'm sneaking around to the beehives all stealthily in my new gear, feeling pleased with my performance given my low sneak and pockpicket skills. Just as I'm about to burn a beehive, a [censored] dragon attack the building on a nearby hill. This is only my second dragon encounter in the wild, so I pull out my bow and start shooting. It's not interested in me at all and goes down without much hassle.

However, now everyone outside is alerted to my location, and I have to melee them all 6v1. I killed them and made it inside and got what I needed, but man did that completely ruin the whole atmosphere of the missikn.

That's pretty normal, yeah. Bandits and other hostiles will engage the dragons, but then sometimes they gang up on you as well. A very chaotic scene...
