The skeleton and Roi charge at eachother, they push their swords to eachother, trying to overpower the other. "Hah, your technique of fighting is almost as embarrassing as the amount of steps you rolled on the boardgame!" The skeleton said to Roi, trying to break his confidence. Roi's face got red. Roi jumped out of the way, ran around the skeleton and jumped at him, the tip of his sword flying towards the skeleton's chest. Roi missed, and his sword went right through the skeleton's ribs. "Heating already? Pathetic." The skeleton said, and he laughed. The skeleton kicked Roi to the ground and pinned him with his sword. Not impale, he just held the tip to Roi's chest to stop him from moving. Roi lost grip on his sword and dropped it. "Check and mate!" The skeleton said. "No fair!" Roi said. "But I chose the right path, so even though I lost, I win right?" Roi asked. "You sure?" Boutonnière said. Everyone looked at the rose, and it started to rot. "NOOO!" Roi yelled.

Everyone besides Roi appeared back on the deck. "Great. He lost." Roan said. "Yes he did." Boutonnière confirmed. "Yikes... Poor Roi." Rose said. "Let's not waste any more time and proceed." Boutonnière said. Bouttonière and Rose appeared in the same room as Boutonnière went to with Leon. Rose was also handcuffed to the steering wheel. "You have a choice to make!" He'd say. "It requires loyalty as well." He'd look at Rose. "Bring it on." Rose said. "There is a small canoe that would fit four people in it." He said. "Okay?" Rose asked. "Do you choose to send everyone else in the canoe, or do you choose to send yourself in there?" Boutonnière asked. Rose thinks for a bit. "I choose..." She'd imagine the things that could happen to the canoe. "To send everyone else in!" She said. She'd look at her rose, which started to rot. "Of course, I could have known that they would capsize in the storm." She'd say, and facepalm. 

"How did she not realise it was the wrong choice..." Meghan said. "Guys, two of us have lost already, let's not make any more wrong choices." Roan said. "I see that your rose is rotting..." Boutonnière says, and he looks at Roan. Boutonnière is holding a bottle with liquid and Roan's rose. "Just get to the point! What does he need to do?" Meghan asks. "You must bring water to your plant." He said to Roan. "Where am I going to get that from?" Roan asks. "Your first option is the ocean, and the other is to use the liquid from this bottle." Boutonnière told him. "What's in the bottle?" Roan asks. "I can't tell you that." He gets as response. "How much time do I have left?" Roan asks. "You have exactly five minutes before it completely rots." He says. "I'm taking it from the ocean!" Roan says. He takes the Rose with him and starts climbing down the rope ladder towards the raging black ocean. He takes the rose out the bottle and scoops some water from the ocean, he climbed back up and put the rose in the bottle. It would rot. "Ah shit!" Roan said. Lightning strikes, and Roan disappears. 

"Ah shit, Leon! We're the only two remaining!" Meghan says. "You better not lose." Leon says. "I have to win!" Meghan says. She looks at Boutonnière. "Bring it on!" She says. "You're last to make tonight's decision." He says. A large tornado develops in the distance, and it slowly starts coming closer to the ship. "Your first option is to end the storm, but the two of you will have to face a trial." Boutonnière says. "Yeah no..." Meghan says. "Other option?" She'd ask. "You can pick a do-over, which will take you back to the point before Roi rolled the dice this time. You could end up in a better or worse position, your call. Heh." Boutonnière explained. "Of course, I have to make the most difficult choice of the night..." Meghan says. "Meghan, it's fine." Leon says. "No!" Meghan says. "Both options will mean the death of us!" She'd say. "I say we do a trial." Leon says. "But why?!" Meghan yells. "Do you really want to do this all over again?" Leon asks. "No, but I don't want any of us to die." Meghan says. "It's up to you." Leon says. "I want neither!" Meghan says. "Choose one, or I will eliminate you." Boutonnière says. "Please choose one, I don't want you to die!" Leon says. "I choose to end the storm and go to trial." Meghan says. "Haha! Very good!" Boutonnière says. The storm seizes immediately.
