You can avoid the fight against the Baron's men by choosing the right dialogue choices.
Choosing the option to say Back off or die will initiate a fight with the 3 bandits. After the fight, the innkeeper will let you leave through the back.
If you go back out and exit through the front, there will be 3 more bandits who will attack you.
Choosing the option to say Care for a Drink? will yield the same results as the choice given in the objectives section; however, this will yield more information about the baron.
If you choose the options Not your concern or Wonder what you're doing here, it will start a fight.
The rabid dogs can dodge fairly quickly. Using heavy attacks will make it hard to get hits in on them.
When facing enemies who wield hammers, it is best to just dodge their attacks. It is not possible to parry or counterattack against hammer attacks.
