A little bit of color comes back into Gwendolyn's face.
Aye, Cap'n.
She talks to herself.
Perhaps it won't be so bad.

Kibo: We're getting close. Stay silent.
Kibo pulls on the oars with all his might one last time, and the boat touches the shore.
Kibo: Shhh... now...
Kibo crosses the blades, and several spirits appear, some of them different than before.
Kibo: You 5, go that way. The rest of you, go the other. We'll take the center. Meet back at the Godspeed once you have a good load. Got that?
Spirits: *whispering* Aye, sir!
Kibo: Okay, let's move out. Gwen, Storm, Moral, you stay with me. We'll be going... *points down a street straight ahead* ...down that road. Savvy? Let's go...
Kibo begins to creep towards the small path.

Kibo: *smiling* Nice Trick, Storm.
Kibo reaches the first house, and silently stabs his sword into the wall, making a spirit appear inside, which walks up and opens the windows, allowing Kibo to enter. He immediately goes to a large bureau, and opens it, finding several pearl necklaces, and a small bag of coins, which he quickly pockets, motioning for the others to come in

Be quiet or your going to wake the entire town! As it is, their running patrols around it. Ones heading this way from North-east and another from a parelle street. Stay on your toes and be prepared.

Kibo smiles, and slowly crosses his swords, bringing out several spirits, Barret included. He makes several hand gestures, and Barret nods, leaving through a wall.
Kibo: *whispering* There. The guards are taken care of. Now, let's continue.
Kibo runs upstairs, out of sight. Several moments later, he comes back downstairs, his hands filled with necklaces and pendants, along with several gold coins.
Kibo: That's everything. Let's go.
Kibo jumps out the window after fixing everything, making the house look like the pirates were never there. He then sneaks up to another house, and stabs his sword into the wall.

Before they had come near the village Gwendolyn had tripped on a fallen tree making everyone jump. After being shushed, Gwendolyn followed closely behind Kibo the whole time not wanting to be left behind. Her mind wandered to the time when her sister had done this sort of thing once and afterwards saying she preferred searching for chests of gold and jewels and searching for still uncharted islands. Then Gwendolyn came back to the present for she sensed something was wrong. She turned and gasped.
LOOK OUT!!

Kibo turns, just in time to see a large number of townspeople walk up, and one man lift a pistol.
Kibo: Holy Shi-
Kibo manages to duck, the shot just flying through his hair.
Kibo: Oy, I should have expected this, Forn.
The portly man with the pistol looks up at the mention of his name, and laughs heartily.
Forn: Kibo? Is that you? Heh heh. So it is. And you've brought more crew members? What a fool you are! Have you told them what happened last time you came with a crew to our village?
Kibo: Maybe another time.
Forn begins to walk up to Kibo, and holds a pistol to his head.
Forn: Tell them. Now.
Kibo turns around, a regretful look in his eye.
Kibo: I think it's time I told you about my last crew. (Warning! Small Text Wall ahead!) You see, I had come to Tortuga before. It was long time ago. I picked up a crew, and set sail towards this very island. However, I underestimated the villagers here. They slaughtered my entire crew, and left me drifting far offshore. Those many lonely days started to drive me mad. However, I was saved, by a young captain. His name was Captain James Farind. He was a necromancer, and taught me how to summon spirits with my blades. The spirits I most often call forth are my old crew. Barret is my previous first mate. The day before I came to Tortuga to look for you, I recieved a letter, telling me that Captain Farind had died. I believed that it was my duty to take a crew, and continue his work. He was headed here. That is why I wanted to sail to this island. That is why I decided to take a crew. That is why.
Kibo looks back at Forn, a look of regret on his face.
Kibo: Before you kill me, can I at least say goodbye to my crew?
Forn smiles, and nods his approval. Kibo walks over to his crew, bidding them farewell. First, he walks to Gwendolyn, then to Moral, and finally to Storm. However, in addition to his farewell, he leans in close, and whipers in her ear.
Kibo: *whispering* Help me...
Kibo leans back, and turns around, staring at Forn. However, unnoticed to Forn, Kibo unties his blades, and secretly hands them to Storm.
Kibo: Believe in yourself, and cross them.
Forn: What's that supposed to mean? Hmph, whatever. Come here, you.
Kibo walks over to Forn, and kneels before him. Forn walks into a nearby house, and comes out with a bloodstained tree stump, and an axe. He places the stump underneath Kibo's head, grinning happily. Kibo turns his head, facing Storm, and stares at her, his eyes begging her to cross the blades.
Forn: Finally. I've wanted to kill you for many years, you know.
Kibo: *sigh* Just get it over with.
Forn grins maniacally, and raises the axe.

Suddenly a pistol is fired. Forn drops the ax and falls down, dead. Gwendolyn is still holding the pistol, shaking and eyes wide with disbelief. Her breath was short.

Kibo looks up shocked, and pulls out his third sword, running towards Gwendolyn.
Kibo: Look out!
Kibo jumps behind Gwendolyn, and kills a man running up behind Gwendolyn, raising an axe.
Kibo: Run! Storm, throw me my swords!

Gwendolyn doesn't move. Then she drops the pistol and falls to her knees, still shaking and eyes still wide.

Kibo looks back at Gwendolyn, and pulls her to her feet, still fighting off the townspeople.
Kibo: Run, dammit!

She then pulls out the cutlass she had been carrying and joins the fight.

Gwendolyn kills the man she had been fighting with.
No. You don't get it. You the one who has to survive. Don't you see why fate has kept you alive all this time? And besides you're my captain. I can't just leave you. If anyone's gonna run it's you. I know we didn't just come here to steal a few precious stones from the villagers.
Gwendolyn continues fighting. The man had tried to sneak up on her from behind. He manages to make a cut on her arm but she digs her sword into his heart and wrenches it out again.
