Ophelia wakes and goes to start the Gluttony level. Jasper is the Devil in charge and explains the clues:
A deadly game unfurls, upon a twisted board, watch every step you take, or your fate will be untoward. To gain the upper hand, levers are in play, but be careful which you choose, the pendulum swings both ways. Temptations in numbers, don’t overcount, forward or backward, a single key to get out (244). Ophelia travels through the portal and finds herself in a stone room with a chessboard-like floor. She and the other members of the group have collars and chains around their necks. Cade steps forward and receives a gold bar; the other contestants follow and also receive gold, except for a woman named Becca, who gets sawed in half as a blade appears on a pendulum. Another set of bars appear, and the group continues to scramble for them to avoid the blades. More contestants are hit, and Ophelia manages to dodge them until Eric attacks her to try to push her into the blade. She goes transparent and the blade kills him instead.
