5			I've heard an all female gang of thieves is preying on the men folk of Anvil. While I didn't get all the details, I was pointed in the direction of Gogan and Maelona, two local Anvil residents. Somehow, Gogan is "intimately" involved whatever that means.
10			I've spoken to Maelona, a Redguard commoner who lives in Anvil. It seems that a gang of female thieves has taken up residence somewhere nearby. They're luring men out to their farmhouse by seducing them, and then in actuality, robbing them of all their goods when they arrive. The men are so embarrassed about this that they won't report it to the authorities. Maelona's husband is one of the "victims".
20			Upon further questioning, I've discovered that Maelona's husband, Gogan, was carrying a family heirloom when the all-female gang robbed him. She's desperate to get the ring back, and is offering 100 gold for its return.
30			Maelona told me that the men are usually approached at the local watering hole, The Flowing Bowl. That's where I should make contact with the gang. I should speak to Gogan, as he may be able to add some more useful information.
35			After speaking to Gogan, I've learned that there are at least two gang members, an Imperial and a Nord. They lure men to a remote location, trick them into removing their clothes and equipment, and then ambush them while they are defenseless. I think at this point I have enough information to pay a visit to The Flowing Bowl.
40			Signy Home-Wrecker has met me at The Flowing Bowl, accompanied by Faustina Cartia. She enticed me to meet them at their farmhouse around 11 this evening, "for a night of fun I won't soon forget". I have decided to take them up on their temping offer, as this will point me in the direction of their hideout. The farmhouse seems to be just outside of Anvil in the settlement named Gweden. (If the player is male) or' Faustina Cartia approached me after I arrived at The Flowing Bowl. She said that I had what it took to join their gang, and if I was interested, to meet her in the farmhouse at a small settlement outside of Anvil called Gweden around 11 tonight. This was the break I was looking for, so I'll follow my map to that location. (If the player is female)
50			I've arrived at Gweden. I should enter the main farmhouse and find out what Faustina and Signy have in store for me. (If the time is between 11pm and 6am) or I've arrived at Gweden. I'll need to wait until around 11 in the evening to go inside and find out what Faustina and Signy have in store for me. (If the time is between 6am and 11pm)
55			(Player removes weapons and armor)
60			After entering the farmhouse, I encountered Faustina who tried to entice me to remove my weapons, armor and clothing and place them aside. Knowing this was a ruse, I refused. She yelled out and the rest of the gang entered the room fully armed and ready for battle. I had no choice but to kill them. (If the player is male and refused to remove his weapons and armor) or After entering the farmhouse, I encountered Faustina who enticed me to remove my weapons, armor and clothing and place them aside. Once I did so, she yelled out and the rest of the gang entered the room fully armed and ready for battle. I had no choice but to kill them. (If the player is male and did remove his weapons and armor) or After entering the farmhouse, I encountered Faustina who tried to convince me to join in on their scheme. When I told her no, she yelled out and the rest of the gang entered the room fully armed and ready for battle. I had no choice but to kill them. (If the player is female)
100	✔		Maelona and Gogan entered the farmhouse in Anvil City Guard armor. It turns out that they have been undercover as a married couple for some time trying to put a stop to the gang. She says I was spotted heading to Gweden so she went back for reinforcements and headed here. She said she would take care of the bodies, and paid me my gold as promised.

She says I was spotted heading to Gweden so she went back for reinforcements and headed here. She has taken Faustina into custody and paid me the gold she promised.
150	✔		I fear I've slain one of the gang members prematurely. Although this puts a stop to the crimes, a better way may have been available had I followed through with the undercover operation.
