Paradise Found: The Paradise Found for this leg of the race is Mount Karthala, the highest point in the Comoros archipelago. Mount Karthala is a currently active volcano and contributes to Comoros slowly growing landmass. It is considered very sacred to natives of Comoros and even Arab traders fear the volcano's explosive eruptions. This Paradise Found is the sixth in a race around the world. The last team to check in here will be eliminated.
Checked In: -Run up to the nearly erupting volcano and self-check in- 1st Santana & Brittany / Cheerleaders (yzysg) 2nd Darius & Marco / Best Friends (Wuming Shi) 3rd Ching & Nigrella / College Friends (Thingamajig) -(Arabic Form of transport) to Mount Karthala- (-800) 1 -(African Form of Transport) to Mount Karthala- (-600) 3
Battle of Choice: The Far Cannons or The Near Duel In this Battle of Choice, teams will be facing off against the impending Portuguese invaders. The Far Cannons: In The Far Cannons, teams will man a cannon and attempt to shoot 1 of 8 possible Portuguese naval ships. They will be faced with a 25 mile grid where they must choose one of 25 square miles to aim at. If they successfully damage and sink a ship, they will receive their clue. If not, the tides of the water will indicate where the nearest ship is located. This task is not too difficult, but teams who are weary of their luck may want to think twice about choosing this task. After the Portuguese ship has sunk, teams will receive their next clue from the Arab soldiers.
(Numbers go 1 - 5, 6 - 10, etc. etc.) -Fire at (#)- 5th Elizabeth & Darcy / Unfortunate Acquaintances (TimmyTAR) 6th Julien & Reggie / Art Student (Nimberlane) The Near Duel: In The Near Duel, teams will take up arms and swashbuckle against the invaders. However, teams have now been told the algorithm to each attack. Every 30 seconds, a new wave of European fighters arrive. So, every 25.556, 25.555, or 25.554 seconds, the Comorian army should fight back. Teams will use http://www.online-stopwatch.com/ to time their attacks. All you need to do is post a screenshot of the timer on any of the 3 times listed above WITH the time you completed the action (to prevent cheating). The time you complete the task must correspond to when you get to the update so teams may only try this task ahead of time for practice. This task requires precision, and is much faster, but teams can get easily frustrated and can lose major amounts of time. When teams are done, the Comorian general will hand teams their next clue.
(Post Screenshot.) 1st Nina & Anna / Competitive Sisters (NickF227) 25.555, 25.556, 25.557 To do The Far Cannons, -Run up and load the cannon- To do The Near Duel, -Run to timer and grab weapons- 7th Jennifer & Laura / Petite Models (Destinys Champion)
Message In A Bottle: Teams must now make their way to the Arabic Fort overlooking the strait of Mozambique. It is at the overlook where teams will find their next clue.

Elizabeth: The Portuguese shall pay for them unleashing this hellish undead plague upon our country! Darcy: You must have pulled that information out of your bonnet, for that is incorrect. Elizabeth: I shall express my anger as I wish, Darcy. Just be lucky I am not expressing this unto yourself.

Laura: Why weapons? We haven't had any luck with those. Jennifer: So you want me to fire a cannon instead? I can't aim with my eye!

Reserved for closing confessional.
UGH YUKU. I promise to edit more skits in later. ETA: Closing Confessional Darius: *wrinkles* Sulphur sure has a funny smell. Marco: I'm just glad we're free men again. Being all tied up was not fun. Darius: Me too. Makes me have second thoughts about S&M to be honest. Marco: Well, you know the control I'd have over you... it won't be that bad, will it? *teasing wink* Darius: *laughs* I like how our leg finishes always turn into mega horndog fests. Marco: Well, I'm happy to be with you. Overly so, perhaps? Darius: And with that second 1st place, I'd say a little making-out is due reward... *sticks his tongue through Marco's lips, and they tongue wrestle against the volcanic backdrop* 13714 KMF remain
