A few days back our group encountered some of these in the desert in a rather large spawn and managed to defeat them, though they were fairly tough. We then found a map and tracked them to lair, buffed to the nines, and found the lair only weakly guarded and the treasure chests very weak. I opened each chest and each had maybe 1-2 potions in it. For a "lair" it was weak.  I would suggest upping the defenders and the loot, at least for the sake of ambiance; finding six chests containing a total of 10 potions is a letdown. Maybe add some theme loot like gold coins, other maps, spices or silks, or something else you might imagine a bunch of raiders would have at their lair along a trade route. Alternately, give them a single chest with all the loot in that.  Overall, I liked that little side quest but I think everyone was underwhelmed with the resistance and payout given the strength of the initial marauder group that dropped the map.

I second this. The fight was much too easy last time I did it and the reward was effectively meaningless.
