Even in a contest with just two opponents, the GM can always allow the player character a final action. Say the character is defending his family from a big bad nasty, loses the contest, maybe even dying. As a GM I'd allow a final attempt. It would be very dramatic for the character to kill or drive off the nasty thereby saving the family at the cost of their own life. It may not be in the rules, but that's what a GM is for.
