Season 1, Episode 14

## "The Cardinal Sin Of This Game"

- Gentoo on **Day 31**

**Raiders** make their way into *Floor 3*, where are presented with yet another change to the game. **Pharaohs** would now declare two other **Raiders** as **Offerings**, rather than saving a group of 5 from **The Catacombs**, and the **Audience** would choose a "**Champion**" to compete in a challenge for safety against the **Pharaoh** and their two **Offerings**.

After the first **Pharaoh Challenge** of the new floor, **Spam Space** came to a close, it was revealed that **Nito** had spammed the most messages amongst those competing, and would take home the crown as the first **Pharaoh** of *Floor 3*!

Worried that he might be a target for the majority of the house, **Josh** was quick to try and side with **Nito**.

The alliance between **Gentoo**, **Jessica**, **Nito** & **Shea** would devise a plan to navigate through the episode, as they prepared **Nito** to nominate their two biggest targets, **Agustin** & **Josh**.

After **Nito** revealed that **Agustin** & **Josh** would be the initial **Offerings**, it was revealed that **Jessica** would be the **Audience's Champion** for the episode, meaning that it would be **Nito** vs **Agustin** vs **Josh** vs **Jessica** in a challenge for safety and the choice to save either **Agustin** or **Josh** from being sacrificed.

It was revealed to the four that they would be competing in **tournament-style Chess**, and in round 1, **Jessica** & **Nito** would go against each other, and the two **Offerings**, **Agustin** & **Josh** would go against each other. In the **Safety Challenge**, both **Josh** & **Nito** would beat **Agustin** & **Jessica** and make it into the final round against each other, where **Josh** would pull off the overall win, saving himself from being sacrificed.

**Nito** would replace **Josh** with **TANMAN**, making **Agustin** & **TANMAN** the finalized **Offerings** of the episode.

Although **Gentoo**, **Jessica**, **Nito** & **Shea's** alliance seemed to be targeting **Josh** and his ally, **Agustin**, **Nito's** new replacement **Offering** in **TANMAN** gave an idea to some of **Nito's** allies.

**Agustin** went to several **Raiders** in hopes they would decide to vote for **TANMAN** and keep him in the game, but it would be **Gentoo** that would question **Agustin's** game in previous episodes, and why it was he waited until he was in danger to ever truly reach out to him.

Hoping to get information out of **TANMAN**, or possibly get him to use his piece of the **Morale Artifact**, **Gentoo** began the interrogation.

After **TANMAN** figured out that **Trent** was the current holder of **The Heartifact**, and **Trent** revealed to **TANMAN** that it was his goal to have him sacrificed in this episode, **TANMAN** contemplated using the **Artifact Of Ward** and remove both himself and **Agustin** from danger, and fill in their seats with **Raiders** of his own choice. **TANMAN** took this advantage to his alliance between himself, **Agustin**, **Icon** & **Josh**.

Worried that **Shea** & **Trent** were lying to him, **TANMAN** planned on making them the new **Offerings**, and although others' guesses about his plans with the **Artifact Of Ward** were all over the place, **TANMAN** revealed the artifact publicly, he announced that **Icon** & **Shea** would be taking his and **Agustin's** spot as **Offerings** for the episode.

With the vote being split decently even, **Trent** would find himself in a powerful middle position because of **The Heartifact**, as both sides of the vote worried about where his votes would be placed. Rallying for **Trent's** vote, **Shea** made a vow to him to go after his own ally, **Jessica**, if he stayed.

Just as the votes were about to be read in favor of sacrificing **Shea**, his ally, **Gentoo** would get into **Trent's** ear, and attempt to persuade him that their side was the better option for **Trent** to move forward with as opposed to **Agustin**, **Josh** & **TANMAN**.

With the vote count being a close race, the votes came across **4** for **Icon** & **3** for **Shea**, making **Icon** the **17th Raider** sacrificed to **The Pyramid** and the first member of the **Jury**. For the last time of the season, **The Heartifact** is passed on to its last holder, **Shea**.
