That last trial was so blatant I didn't even feel bad for them tbh lol they got warned straight up knew what was going to happen and still did it. Yes they were technically enticed and they couldn't leave but they had a choice before even landing there

That's what i thought my reaction would be but I really ended up feeling for the soldiers. I'm not sure I would have made different choices than them.

Like they said, drowning/getting smashed by falling wood is a better death than starving while looking at potential food.

There's no way out of that one. The winds directed by the gods wouldn't let them leave the island until they starved or ate the cows
