The Wolf Among Us part 3
This is a continuation of the last part, the rest of Chapter 5 where I went to inspect Prince Lawrence's apartment where he lived with Faith. I headed inside and did not expect what I found. Then I went through the last chapter of the episode and still didn't get a whole lot of answers and yet another murder. Here is what happened.
Episode 1: Chapter 5 part 2 - Consequences
I started the new chapter talking to Snow as we headed to Prince Lawrence's apartment. She wanted to do things quickly so they should pick a way to do things and stick with it, but Bigsby said that murder investigations don't work that way, it was rarely simple. Snow just didn't want anything to fall through the cracks.
We made it to Lawrence's apartment and went inside and found him on the floor nearly dead from a gunshot to the head. I had to go get him some water and headed to the kitchen. On the fridge was a note from Faith that said to not look for her.
I went back to the living room with the water, gave it to Lawrence, and asked him who did it, but all he said was "Faith" after that he died. I started looking around and found the gun, but it hadn't been fired recently and the bullet casting matched the gun. With a hole in the wall, it looked like Lawrence shot himself...but that didn't make sense. If he shot himself in the head and he just died, but the gun was last used a week ago...that means he would have been lying here dying for a week? But there was also a knife with blood on it, was he stabbed too? So many questions.
I was looking around the apartment again and started to open the closet doors when someone suddenly burst out and ran out the door. I don't know who he was, but he had blood on him and I continued to chase him through another apartment building. The chase was fast and I couldn't take many pictures, but I was able to follow him out a window and into a dumpster outside.
The man said he was a private investigator and said he had nothing to do with what happened to Lawrence, but Bigby didn't believe it since he was covered in blood. He had just come to ask about the girl, Faith, and didn't know that Lawrence didn't know she was dead. He then shot himself before he could do anything. The man then said that he knew Bigby was looking for the Woodsman and had heard from his employer that he was at a place called the Trip Trap and that they could go together.
Bigby said no and he wanted to know who had hired him, but the man said it was confidential. So instead Bigby wanted to take him back to the office, but the man said Dum. Bigby got confused and repeated it, but the man said, no, he was Dee, that was Dum. Before Bigby could turn around, someone hit him from behind and knocked him out. I then understood that they were the twins Tweddle Dee and Tweddle Dum from Alice in Wonderland.
After a minute or so, Bigby woke up to Snow hovering over him. She said that she found him lying there and after asking where they went, she said that the twins, after kicking him a bit, got into a car and took off. Bigby said that Dee had mentioned the Trip Trap, so that was where they had to go next.
While in the cab, Snow voiced how uneasy she was about everything. Bigby said that they had to talk to the Woodsman since he was the last person who had been with Faith and the only lead they have. Snow then asked who I thought did it. I had to give an answer and I didn't know what to chose, but based on the information I had, I chose the Woodsman. I wasn't completely sure, but he did have a motive. We won't know for sure unless we talk to him and get answers.
Snow then made a comment that seeing all this, it made her see that the Fables were struggling a lot more than she thought. She just wished she could do more. The system was broken and she wasn't helping the ones that really need it. I then had a choice of what to say and told her that she will figure it out and trusts that she will do the right thing. We then made it to the Trip Trap and it was a shady place, so Bigby was going to go in alone while Snow went back to the office.
Episode 1 : Chapter 6 - Trip Trap
Bigby went into the bar and there were only two people inside, the bartender and a guy at the end of the bar, neither of them was the Woodsman. When Bigbsy asked if the Woodsman was here the woman behind the bar was rude and said he wasn't here so he could leave. Of course, Bigby didn't listen and came in to ask again if they had seen him but the woman said he hadn't been in here for a while and it was just the two of them as she kept glancing at the man at the bar. Obviously taking cues from him.
Bigby went to go sit next to the guy at the bar and he wasn't too happy about it. Bigby just said that he didn't want to be here either but the sooner that he answered his questions, the sooner he would leave. But was they were talking there was a flush from a side door, so obviously someone was here and who was it? The Woodsman. But he didn't run, he just sat down at the other end of the bar saying he was done fighting.
Bigy got up to go and talk to him but the man at the bar, Gren, stopped him but he just said that it's been a long day and he wasn't going to leave without answers. Gren said that maybe he didn't want to talk to him, but the Woodsman said it was okay. So Bigby went to sit next to the Woodsman and he started talking about how the tables had turned, he was the bad guy while the Big Bad Wolf was the Sheriff. I then got to ask my questions.
I told him that he knew why I was here and the Woodsman started talking about something entirely different. I thought in the beginning he was talking about casing Faith's house to rob her, but the Woodsman said that she had money, he was sure of it...but Faith and Lawrence were broke, that's why she had resorted to prostitution. And he was going to do it, but then Bigby was there.
All of it didn't make any sense but when he said "Grandma" I realized he was talking about Red Riding Hood and her grandmother. He had been planning on robbing the grandmother, but the Big Bad Wolf was already there, so he had saved her thinking he would get a reward, but he didn't get anything. Everyone was thinking he was something he wasn't and he didn't even get anything out of it. I had another choice but missed it since the timeline was too fast so I didn't get to ask him if he killed Faith.
Instead Gren, the other guy at the bar started speaking up and got angry how Bigby was a lap dog for the rich people in the Woodlands and don't care about the poor. I tried to say that it wasn't like that, he knew that there were problems with the way things worked, but that didn't have anything to do with what was happening.
Gren continued on his run on how Holly, the barmaid's sister had gone missing but no one seemed to care, not even the bitch Snow White who just pushed him out of the office. I was given some new choices and chose to stick up for Snow and BIgby got up and in Gren's face telling him to not call Snow names or it will end badly.
Gren called Bigby Snow White's bitch and Bigby hit him knocking him to the floor. But it wasn't over. Instead Gren shifted into his Fable form, some sort of monster that looked wrapped in cloth, as did Holly who was a troll. A fight then insured.
I found it was easier to fight with mouse instead of controller since i kept missing all the prompts, but the fight turned nasty and Bigby started to get his ass kicked, but then he shifted too and became some sort of hybrid of his wolf form and started to kick Gren's ass. Soon the fight was over after Bigby stabbed Gren in the shoulder with a pool pole.
I was then given the option to keep going or stop and I chose to stop. He then walked over to the bar, ordered a drink and drank it down while he calmed down. The Woodsman asked if he was going to be treated like that if he let Bigby take him in, but Bigby said that if he came quietly, he'd be treated with respect. But if he had killed the girl, then...well he knew what that meant.
I thought everything was settled but then the door to the bar opened and Dee stepped in, still wearing his bloody shirt, saying that he would give anyone $100 if they had information on a girl. But he stopped and saw that Bigby was there. It was then pandemonium and everything went very fast. Dee started to run back through the door and the Woodsman started to turn to the back door to take off. I had to choose who to go after.
After talking to the Woodsman, he didn't seem like he was completely there, but for some reason, I didn't think he killed Faith. But Dee on the other hand, had been there when Lawrence was killed and he had his twin knock me out. So I went after Dee and Bigby put him under arrest and led him out the door.
I guess the Woodlands weren't too far because they just walked there, but there were blue flashing lights up ahead. So Bigby handcuffed Dee to a pole so he could go check it out. The scene then played out with the Woodland apartments being blocked off by police and yellow tape. Beast ran up and was stopped by a police officer, so something had happened.
Bigby just walked under the police tape and went to the steps of the apartments where a bunch of police were huddled and on the steps where Faith's head had been found just days before was a new head...Snow White's. Oh Damn.
The chapter ended and I was shown various scenes on what would be happening in Episode 2 and looks like more is going to happen including the questioning of Dee, the Woodsman being loose, confrontation with Beast and Belle, and something to do with Scrooge.
What a wild ride, this was only the first episode and a lot has happened especially in the last few chapters. So I'll state the facts. Faith was the prostitute who had died whose head had turned up on the steps of the Woodland Apartments. She had an altercation with the Woodsman right before that and doesn't know where he went after, so he doesn't have an alibi. Faith's husband died in his apartment, but whether he did it himself is unclear, Dee had been hiding in his closet and had run off, so that is suspicious. Then with Snow, I had just left her and she was alive and the Woodsman had been in the restroom, though if he got out from that way that meant there was a back door...I may be looking too deep into it though. Dee is also suspicious since he walked in after, don't know where he was before that. Not sure if it was enough time for either of them to kill Snow. I'll have to see what else I I find out in Episode 2. Until then, Happy Gaming!
