remember that while doing the quest part after you beat the informant in HP you can bribe the thieves to stop their activity in lieu of fighting them. As its like under 5k to bribe them I suggest doing that as they usually con red to questor and spawn 5 or 6 reds on top of you.
This part of the quest is very difficult. I died probably 5 times on my mage, I couldnt even survive all 4 or 5 crits. So eventually I said ***** it and just bribed the guy. Now while doing that was very easy I also missed out on alot of faction. You need 0 faction to log the tail quest. After bribing Cogwhisker I had to go kill 25 rats just to get the faction, to log tail quest. Just something to keep in mind while doing it, especially since rats are somewhat hard to come by compared to some others. My mage was a Dark Elf and that may have played a roll in my -250 faction, anyway good luck.
