Pretty low level, less than 10. Knowing they were dangerous, I'd gone to the swamps and picked up enough ingredients to whip up a dozen paralysis poison potions. My alchemy wasn't that good yet, so they only lasted three seconds, but that's plenty long enough to run up after a poisoned bow shot and start chopping away with my greatsword (which I'd beefed up a fair bit with smithing and the Barbarian perk). I kept tossing on fresh poison when it started to stand up, so it never even fought back. Was pretty quick work - ended up with maybe 6 potions left, so I guess it took less than 20 seconds total. I felt like a clever hero and the Jarl was impressed, but honestly it was a pretty mechanical exercise.
I may have killed the one the companions were hunting outside Whiterun long before that, but that doesn't really count.
