    "We are gonna trade the stone for the recipe," says Victor.
The guests try to outsmart The Gingerbread Women. Victor and Jamie face off in a room full of sweats and turn the tables. But sadly learn they can not cheat Bai Fan.
    "One of you must die. That is the rule of the game," says Bai Fan.
    "No! No!" screams Jamie. *throat gets slashed.
     "We have to play by the rules," says Victor.

    "I can't believe she's gone," says Alex.
    "She wouldn't be gone if Matt hadn't voted for her," says Laura.
    "It's not my fault Jamie is dead if anything it's Victor's fault," says Matt.
    "Whatever that was. We were supposed to live," says Victor.
    "Guys we can't blame each other they're forcing us to do this," says Alex.
    "Blame is getting passed around everywhere what scares me the most is that were not working as a team," says Alex.
    "How many more stones do we have to get?" asks Matt.
    "Four," says Victor.
    "And we have this," says Laura picking up the scroll.
Laura unrolls the scroll and Victor reads what it says.
    "To recover the next gem, outsider, you must save our world from the ice witches evil wrath," says Victor.
    "I have placed a compass in the Hearth is that how you say it, the hearth that can lead you to our realm," says Victor.
    "Hearth means fireplace," says Matt.
    "So that," says Victor pointing at the fireplace in the wall.
    "I just push in the bricks and I find the compass behind the fireplace," says Matt.
    "I've never seen anything like this before," says Matt holding the weird looking compass.
    "Is that all the note said?" says Alex.
Alex then finds another note by the fallen bricks.
    "The compass will lead you to the portal between worlds but its source of magic has faded in your realm by spellbook has an incantation that will restore its magic. This some Harry Potter shit," says Alex.
Then Deja and Matt start looking through the bookshelf on the side of the fireplace.
    "There has to be a spellbook in here," says Matt.
    "Wait I think this is it guys," says Deja.
    "The spell to restore magic requires two components a vial of maidens blood and ashes remains of a hero. One is hidden in the Cafeteria and the other one is in the Nurse's office on the second floor. Recover these and you'll be ready to cast a spell," reads Matt.
    "Guys lets split up. You three and us three," says Alex.
    "You guys do the Cafe and we'll do the upstairs," says Laura.
  "At this point I am unphased. Of course, that's what we need. Blood and ashes. Who would need that for a spell," says Victor.
Group 1: Victor, Alex, and Josh enter the Cafe and it is not covered with dead bodies and ash. It is now set as a nice gourmet dinner set with at least 30 round tables.
    "Woah," says Josh.
    "Okay a vial of Blood or Ashes," says Alex.
    "This room is creepy as hell," says Josh.
    "Guys look for like an urn or something," says Alex.
Group 2: Laura, Matt, Deja
    "Okay, so ashes or blood wait is that the blood or dust," says Laura.
Laura and Deja go over and see a shelf with just a ton of vials of blood.
    "Okay that's a lot of blood," says Deja.
    "Why is there a nurses office in the upstairs?" says Deja.
    "I don't think it's normal to keep blood in their office but I also don't think it's normal to be abducted by a lunatic," says Deja.
Group 1: Victor, Alex, Matt
Victor opens an urn but there is nothing inside.
    "Nope nothing," says Victor.
    "Guys look. Captain Wesley Adams. War hero and father. May his ash and remains be encased in clay," says Josh.
    "Maybe it'll be under," says Victor.
    "Found it, ashes. There's ash in here don't inhale it," says Alex.
*Ashes Found.
    "Let's go tell the others," says Alex.
Group 2: Laura, Matt, Deja
    "Guys I found a list of people," says Matt.
    "Okay it's gonna be female because it said Maiden's blood," says Deja.
    "Laura the numbers are 116, 117, 125. Do you have those?" says Matt.
    "Nope," says Laura.
Group 1: Victor, Alex, Josh
    "I can't believe we found it this quick and they're having problems," says Alex.
    "I think at voting I think we should remember to think how long it's taking them to find something," says Josh.
    "Are you guys down for an alliance," says Alex.
    "I am so down for an alliance," says Victor.
    "Promise not to vote for each other *cough Victor, *Alex," says Josh.
    "And don't you feel like right now their making an alliance," says Alex.
    "Laura has only done one challenge where Victor you've done 4, and Alex has done 2 and me, I've done three already," says Josh.
    "Oh my god, guys we just made an alliance," says Josh.
Group 2: Laura, Matt, Deja
    "Was 135 one?" says Matt.
    "Yes," response Laura.
Finally, Laura, Matt, and Deja get the vial of blood. They get back to the group in the commons.
    "Make a circle with the ash and place the object inside and then speak the words of the spell as the maiden's blood is dripped around the ashes circle," reads Laura.
    "Do you wanna read it together? Like all at the same time," says Laura.
Laura and Josh hold on to each end of the book and the group reads the incantation aloud. After reading the incantation the compass glows green. Then a women's voice echoes throughout the room.
    "My light will lead you into forgotten realms and it'll glow it's brightest when you move in the proper direction," says the voice.
    "So it's like hot and cold," says Deja and Alex.
    "Laura takes the compass and she's leading the way. I think she's really good at pretending like she's doing something. She'll be like. I'll hold the compass but what does that do you're not sacrificing yourself somebody had to hold the compass," says Deja.
    "It's getting bright, so we should go outside," says Alex.
The group goes outside and as they go out they step through a green border that leads them into the realm. They see a woman with horns walking towards them.
    "The heroes of our prophecy have arrived," says the woman.
    "This woman that the compass lead us to sees us and says the heroes of the prophecy have arrived," says Victor.
    "Our world has been cursed and we need your help," says the woman.
    "How can we help," says Matt.
    "The once lonely ice witch obtained the Capricorn stone, giving her great power," says the woman.
    "That's the stone we need," says Laura.
    "To defeat her you will need to find the unquenchable fire with lies on the path of betrayal. To get to the path you will need to find the talisman Two evil Harpies guard the talisman," says the woman.
    "That's what killed Jamie," says Matt.
    "They will tear you to pieces unless you have a great warrior by your side," says the woman.
    "I'm looking at our team and it's not any of us," says Victor.
    "Taura Hill was such a warrior. The last spell in my book has the power to reverse the witch's curse and free him," says the woman.
    "To dispel a curse, you will need tears from a fairy and the Moss King's scepter. Both lie here hidden in the woods" reads Matt.
The group looks around for the Fairy and the scepter.
    "Wait what's that is that the scepter?" says Matt.
    "It's a flute," says Laura.
    "It says play the proper tune to summon a fairy if you seek her tears you must get her to laugh until she cries," says Matt.
    "Cover the second, fourth and fifth hole," says Deja.
Matt then plays the flute and a fairy comes flying in from the sky.
    "You called," says the fairy.
    "Yes, we need your tears," says Matt.
    "Why what are you going to use them for evil spells," says the fairy.
    "We wanna break a curse," says Alex.
    "But first you must make me laugh," says the fairy as she sits on a rock.
    "What makes you laugh," says Alex.
    "You figure it out," says the fairy.
    "I got a good one, what did the blanket say when he fell off the bed?" says Alex.
    "Oh sheet!" says Alex.
    "Who's got more?" says Alex.
    "They say don't sweat the small stuff that's why I got rid of my ex-boyfriend," says Deja.
    "Josh start twerking girl," says Alex.
Josh starts twerking and does a two-legged death drop and the fairy drops to the floor with him laughing hysterically.
The fairy then takes her tears and gives it to Laura.
    "Run along now," says the fairy.
    "Now body liked my small dick joke," says Deja.
    "We finally get the tears bottled up in a jar and the next thing we need is a scepter," says Matt.
    "It said it was a moss king that had a scepter," says Victor.
Then Alex and Josh go by the moss and Josh finds the scepter.
    "I found it, I found it in the moss," says Josh.
    "So Josh has the scepter and we have the tears and we have everything we need to free the warrior," says Laura.
    "Place the scepter at the base of the subject and sprinkle the fairy tears on their eyes. Then move 20 paces away from the subject before reciting the spell," reads Matt.
    "We place the scepter at the base and all of a sudden this huge warrior guy comes out," says Deja.
    "Can you help us defeat the ice queen?" says Laura.
    "Yes," says the warrior.
    "Finally we have someone who is gonna help us in this mess," says Josh.
    "You'll have to follow me," says the warrior.
The warrior leads the group to the Harpies.
    "It's the thing that killed Jamie," says Deja.
    "We need the talisman," says Laura.
    "Do you understand the price to obtain it," says the blue Harpy.
    "Here are the terms and we will accept no others. Four of you will be placed onto the edge of the fountain as witnesses. Two of you will face us in a game of stones. If one of you loses all four outsiders will be slain. If both of you can win the talisman is yours. DECIDE WHO PLAYS!" says the blue harpy.
The group decides who plays. So Laura, Deja, Josh, and Victor go onto the edge of the fountain and Alex and Matt play the game of stones with the Harpies.
    "So if Alex and Matt both win we get the talisman. But if one of the loses we all die," says Laura.
    "The first to stack three stones is the victor. The outsiders go first," says the blue harpy.
    "Alex how are you going?" says Laura.
    "I'm good I'm almost about to stack one," says Alex.
Alex then stacks one.
    "You should've practiced," says Alex.
    "She's cheating you can't jump two," says Laura and Matt.
    "I moved one space," says the blue harpy
    "I'm not blind Harpy, you cheat," says the warrior.
    "Are you calling me a liar?" says the blue harpy.
    "I am," says the warrior.
    "Ahh. Kill them!" says the blue harpy.
    "Get back!" says the warrior pushing Alex out of the way of the harpy that killed Jamie.
The warrior then kills the blue harpy.
    "He's hurt," says Alex.
Then the red harpy comes and jumps on the warriors back and he takes it and smashes the harpy over his knee, killing it.
    "Their claws poisoned him," says Laura.
    "My time in this world is over, get the talisman in the fountain," says the warrior.
    "A hero's death," says Alex handing him his sword.
    "What do we do with the talisman," says Matt.
    "Kill that ice witch," says the warrior.
Then the women from before comes back and says.
    "You truly are the heroes of the prophecy, follow me to the path. You will need the talisman to get passed," says the woman.
    "Wow, he sacrificed himself for us," says Alex.
    "We got the talisman and now it is time to destroy this ice witch," says Victor.
As the group comes upon the Path Of Betrayal they see a guard hold a huge machete.
    "If you seek the unquenchable fire. Two must be chosen to walk the path of betrayal," says the guard.
The whole group turns to Enida.
    "Discuss amongst yourselves," says Enida.
    "If we have to send in two people who haven't really proven themselves yet," says Victor.
    "So like Matt and Laura," says Alex.
    "You haven't I haven't let's just go in," says Laura.
    "Two people are gonna be chosen to walk the path of betrayal and the only two people who haven't really proven themselves yet are Matt and Laura," says Victor.
    "Along the path, there are five riddle boxes, each containing a key. To make it passed the second guard you will need to gather three keys. You must walk the path separately and only one of you will be able to gather enough," reads Laura.
    "Okay," says Matt.
Matt hands the talisman to the first guard and they start to walk the Path Of Betrayal.
    "I go to one side and Matt goes to another and immediately I'm struggling. So at this point, I don't know whos gonna make it out alive," says Laura.
Matt reads his first riddle.
    "You feel yours but you never see it never will. Soul?" says Matt.
    "When I get the riddle I am just trying to solve it as quick as I can but I have no idea," says Matt.
    "I hear Matt struggling, which gives me confidence that I might have a chance of winning," says Laura.
Laura gets her first riddle in a column.
    "30 white horses on a red hill first they champ then they stamp, then they stand still," says Laura.
    "Oop found one," says Matt.
    "These riddles are really, really hard. I'm starting to think that I might not even get one open," says Laura.
    "Should we work together on this?" says Matt.
    "Yeah if we get to the second stage we'll go from there," says Matt.
    "This one says Runs smoother than any rhyme loves to fall, but cannot climb," says Matt.
    "Ocean?" says Laura.
    "Oh waterfall," says Matt.
    "Okay this one was water," says Matt.
Then Matt and Laura figure out Laura's riddle.
    "Teeth," says Matt.
    "Okay we have two keys now," says Laura.
Laura then solves Matt's first one that he never solved
    "It's heart," says Laura.
    "We finally get the third key and we're running to the guard. We're ready to get out of here," says Laura.
Matt and Laura get to the second guard.
    "We have the three keys," says Matt.
    "The second guard hands us the unquenchable fire and we move on into the cave," says Matt.
    "I think me and Matt have been working together incredibly well but I'm nervous that I'm gonna have to betray him," says Laura.
Matt and Laura then come upon a shelf and the note says.
    "Choose the friend whom you will betray. Smash their name upon the ground and the Ice Witch will be revealed," says Matt.
    "Oh my god," says Laura.
    "No," says Matt.
    "Oh my god because it's the path of betrayal. We have to betray someone. We're safe we are betraying someone," says Laura.
    "We're both making it out of here alive but we have to choose which friend is going to die tonight," says Laura.
They then see the stones with their friend's names on them.
    "Deja, Alex, Victor, Josh," says Matt.
    "Just think about who has been slowing us down," says Laura.
    "Alex has proven himself more than once we can't choose him let's put him up here," says Matt.
    "But I feel like Victor has to though," says Laura.
    "So it's between Deja and Josh," says Matt.
    "I don't wanna choose," says Matt.
    "I don't wanna choose either but we have to," says Laura.
    "Who has been more helpful Deja or Josh?" says Laura
    "Deja has but I can't do that to Josh," says Matt.
    "I feel so sick to my stomach right now. Who do you think," says Matt.
    "Obviously Josh for me because for the gauntlet match he was like the last one out and Amber paid the price for it. So I feel like from that now it's his time to go. Want me to smash it?" says Laura.
    "You do it I can't," says Matt.
Laura then picks up Josh's name and smashes it on the ground.
    "Ahh" yells Matt.
*Back with the rest of the group
The first guard looks up at them and starts walking towards Josh.
    "Guys, guys," says Deja.
    "No! No! No! What did I do? What did I do?" says Josh.
The guard then slashes Josh in the guts kill him instantly.
    "Oh my god, what just happened? He's dead and I thought it was one of them what is happening," yells Deja.
    "Oh my god," says Victor.
*Back To Matt and Laura
The ice witch appears and she tries to use her magic to freeze Matt and Laura but Matt holds the flame to her and it kills her instantly.
    "Where's the stone?" says Matt.
    "Did she leave stone?" says Matt.
    "Wait there's a letter. Your path is complete you may return to your friends," reads Laura.
    "We don't have the stone. What the heck," says Matt.
    "It makes me so angry that Josh just died and we didn't get what we were promised," says Matt.
    "Josh is dead," says Alex.
    "We had to walk the path of betrayal and we had to betray one of you guys," says Matt.
    "We had to choose somebody," says Laura.
    "I just feel like hey thanks for not killing me but maybe could you have killed Victor because he's a much better competitor," says Deja.
    "Did you face the Ice Queen?" says Deja.
    "Did you get the stone?" says Alex.
    "No," says Matt.
Alex gets annoyed.
    "I am sorry for your loss but you have saved our entire land and for that, I am forever in your debt. This contains a piece of my magic may it serve you well. It is time to leave now before Bai Fan finds his way here again," says the woman.
The group heads back inside.
    "We don't have a stone but we have a crystal from the magic woman outside but we don't know what it does," says Laura.
    "Is it every man for himself now?" says Victor.
    "No I think we still need to work together," says Deja.
    "100% we do," says Matt.
    "Well that didn't help Josh," says Victor.
Matt and Laura look at each other.
