So who's the spy?

[Hillbilly_Dave]

I took Duncan with me to meet Whitehill and after I got annoyed and said attack, Duncan threw an axe into Whitehill's skull which I thoroughly enjoyed and didn't care that I died. I even did it twice just so I could see it again lol. That said, I've gathered from reading other people's posts on the Whitehill meeting that if you take Ser Royland he puts an axe in Whitehill's skull. Logic would dictate that neither men are Whitehill's spy, else the wouldn't be putting in axes in Whitehill and instead putting an axe in Roderick to protect Whitehill.

So who does that leave? The maester? If it were him I don't think Gryff would have beaten him, at least not as badly as he did and if the maester was the spy I'm sure Gryff would know about it so it can't be a case of he didn't know. Surely they wouldn't beat him that badly, cripple his hand, making him nearly useless as a maester as a ruse...

Again, who does that leave? I believe in the preview Roderick says "I can't believe I trusted him" so we can rule out the mother, which while unlikely I could see being a spy as part of an agreement to return the little boy safely after it was all over. But again, "I can't believe I trusted him" rules her out, as well as Talia, which let's be honest, no one was suspecting her anyway.

So again, who does that leave? Not Arther, he hasn't been around the whole time so it couldn't be him. I literally cannot think of another person it might be.

Then again, this could all be an exercise in futility and it is Duncan or Royland and they both kill Whitehill just to keep us from knowing who ahead of time. Actually come to think of it, that wouldn't surprise me one bit because TellTale did a similar thing in Bonnie's story in The Walking Dead Season 1 400 Days DLC. There's a moment where Bonnie and 2 friends are in a cornfield running away from a group of people with flashlights angry because the woman Bonnie was with stole a bag of supplies from them. It's very dark and Bonnie is hiding behind a tractor or something but there's someone coming up on her position and we as the player are supposed to hit the person with a metal bar but because of the flashlight shining into the camera, directly into the screen, we can't see who it is. If you don't hit them, they whap you with the flashlight and it's game over but if you do hit the person it's actually the woman Bonnie was with, and she's asking why Bonnie hit her before she dies.

So anyway, who do YOU think the Whitehill's spy is?

The Maester has to be the one. Lady Forrester is still a possibility (despite that ambiguous line in the Episode 5 promo).

I will be annoyed if it turns out to be the guy who wasn't picked as Sentinel. It's just too obvious that the guy whose bitter about not getting the promotion is the traitor. Telltalean do better than that.

The Maester. Both Duncan and Royland have had opportunities to betray and quietly kill the lords before, and at one point in the game you can order Royland/Duncan to throw a hatchet into a certain someone's head, which kinda proves him innocent. Though you make a fair point with that example, I still don't buy that they'd betray us.

The Maester most likely accepted the occupation as a formal replacement of a lord.

[Rusio]

Its gotta be the Maester. I just think Roderick is focusing too much on Duncan and Royland and he is turning a blind eye on the Maester.

[Can'tTouchThis]

Either way, if the forresters come out of this the victor, it'll be the first time in the entire game. lol.
Mistrusted all of them at one point or another - Neither royland nor duncan would be logical choices realistically + whoever the original lord was (the father of the family - can't remember his name) trusted duncan so... another reason to trust him, the mother would be helping to kill her own children so i doubt it's her. It'd have to be the Maester who seemed like a decent enough bloke, or... well.. That Random Guy.

to be fair though isnt the point of being a maester to be 100% neautral?

well... there have been 'bad' maesters in asoiaf/GoT

True, but Gryff Whitehill is a paste eater, and it wouldn't be surprising if he wasn't privy to his father's plans or simply beat the maester anyway.

He'd definitely know about the maester if he was the spy, but I could see Gryff beating him anyway. However, I don't see him crippling the maester as he did if he knew the maester was working for them.

it can be that one of them is a spy but they are still loyal (jorah is an example) maybe they did it because they thought they can bring peace(if its duncan), maybe they didnt had a choise, but when a fight came up they took your side. tania did mention she grew up with them

[Can'tTouchThis]

I'm probably overthinking this.... but... when you look at the whitehill tapestry doesn't ludd have 4 sons? 1 died of greyscale, 1 i believe went to the citadel, 1 is with roose and then well... Gryff. Could the one who went to the citadel actually be a maester currently... and well... you see where i'm going with this. Isn't the maester the keeper of ravens, so he has access and could have sent a raven to ramsay before the ravens were all killed, don't know why he wouldn't send it to ludd but... ehh. Maesters only seem to have one name - Maester Luwin for example, so it is possible that people wouldn't know his full name and therefore not know he's a whitehill, i'm sure if they knew he was a whitehill as soon as rod knew there was a spy he would assume it was him.

As that line could easily refer to the hostage exchange I don't think anyone can be ruled out. To be honest I doubt they'd reveal something that signifcant in the preview really.

No I don't think that's possible simply because of how badly Gryff beat the maester. He would know the master was his brother and wouldn't beat him like that. I just can't see it happening.

well hold on..... his sisters said the brothers where terrible to him and that his father had to defend him often
