Help with "Interlopers" activity

[Spelmer]

Any tips for fighting 5 full plate bandits at each camp for the interloper activity? The constant camera auto lock makes it too hard to see which enemy is going behind my back. I can only keep going backwards and pressing Q, can't kill anyone another way. Maybe stealth night poisoning is the fastest way? I tried using Bailiff Mace, but longsword range is much better for me.

Go in at night with dark clothing and drop poison meat near dogs (bane) Once dogs dead, go back poison food pot... or sneak in and stab them to death in their PJs, or pick the lock to their gear and steal it, then fight them all in their PJs.

Thanks for the tip, I'll do the way you mentioned at the next camp. For the first one, I used horse and kept shooting them back and forth with better piercing arrows and Yew Longbow until there were only 2 enemies left for melee fighting.

"Kiting" with a bow is a good strategy on horseback if you can maintain distance to avoid being unhorsed.

Yes, you are correct, it's a bit hard to maintain distance at first. Well, I did it the way you mentioned, just kept crawling with dark clothes at night and proceeded to stealth kill every one of them at sleep with dagger. Also I've poisoned both food pots. Now activity complete, no more marauders :)

you can lure them away from their buddies one or two at a time on a horse , i killed all the interlopers that way , usually try to hit the first one from horse back, dangerous but fun too
fyi- they all respawn bandits so you can go back in a week and kill them again - good source of gear to sell for money
