Paul Lettleby walked into the blacksmith's shop, with a request for a sword. "I would like a 3 foot long blade, double-edged, on a one-handed hilt. And if you could make a guard for my knuckles, I would really appreciate it. And I would pay more if you can make the guard look like a cobra as well. Would you be willing to make my sword?" he asked, hoping that the smith would do it. He had dire need of a sword since he lost his original one on the adventure with Sparrow and his crew.

Lydia walks cautiously into the small blacksmith. the smell of a fire reaches her nose and looking around she notices a small grey donkey in the corner. che sits down and waits for the blacksmith to come back.
When he arrives, she request the newest sword type available and buys a holder to keep it safe and then walks out feeling safer than usual.

*Will walked into the blacksmith shop. He had thought about leaving it after his marriage to Elizabeth but he just couldn't. He loved making weaponry and was happy to see Paul walk in. He smiled and gave him a wave.* Hullo Paul, nice to see you again. *He listened to Pauls request and nodded his head.* I'll have that out to ya soon as I get the chance mate. *Then a woman walked in, requesting the newest sword type. Will raised a brow and wasn't exactly sure what that would be.* Well I'll see what I can do Miss. *He said then quickly got to work on their orders. Later that night he had finally finished them both and placed them in decent cases, awaiting their pick up. When the arrived he gave them to them and smiled.* Let me know what you think and if there are any changes I can make.
Pauls Sword: 3 ft. long double edged blade with one handed hilt and knuckle guard, intricatly detailed to resemble a cobra. Like Norringtons sword the tang was the width of the blade to add extra strength. The blade was sterling silver and the knuckle guard gold. The hilt was colored black.
Lydias Sword: 2 1/2 ft. double edged blade. Hilt has etched in spots as finger grips for better grasp and this ones tang is the width of the blade as well. The blade is sterling silver and the hilt black, without a knuckle guard. Enlaid in the hilt is silver designed to look like crossbones, as Will could tell she was a pirate.

Sarah walks into the blacksmith's shop, rather nervous. She had never purchased a sword before and wasn't quite sure what she wanted. Should she buy a knife, or a sword? She decided to leave that up to Will. Hello Will! How are you today? I was wondering if I could purchase a...a sword. I don't know much about swords, but I believe I do need one. Although I don't know much about swords, do you think you could help me?

*Carrie walks into the Blacksmith shop whistling "What do you do with a drunken sailor". She is carrying her father's sword that has been recently damaged,you can tell it is of good make but it has a huge crack down the middle of the blade. She comes up to Mr. Turner, the blacksmith, and sets her sword down in front of him* "Hello, there Mr. Turner! My swords lookin' more than a bit shabby lately so I be lookin' to get it fixed. Can you do something for it?"

*Will was sitting on a stool, sharpening one of his swords when Sarah stepped in. He smiled, glad to see her, and stood up.* Hullo Sarah, Im good. *He answered then nodded his head as she continued speaking.* I can make you a sword Sarah, I'll try to have it ready by this evening. *He smiled, then Carrie walked in, handing Will her fathers sword, asking if he could fix it. He looked it over. It was a fine sword indeed, and one he could fix.* I can certainly repair it Miss. I'll have it to you as soon as possible. *He smiled then immideatly got to work on their swords. After a long while of working on them he finally finished them and set them beside the other two to be picked up.*
Sarahs Sword: It was a 2 1/2 foot long blade, with a one sided edge and just slightly curved at the tip in old pirate fashion. It was made of sterling silver and the handle was painted a metallic royal blue with gold dust sprinkled in the paint. There was a knuckle guard on the handle also made of silver.
Carries Sword: Will carefully melted down the metal from an old sword of his and poured it into the crack. After a while of sanding and polishing the blade shimmered like new and you couldn't tell where the new metal had been laid. He also polished the handle to make the sword look brand new again.

*Carrie came back into the Blacksmith shop to check on her sword. She walks up to Will, he says that it's done. She examines it carefully and then smiles with satisfaction. "Thanks Will! What do I owe ye for this?"

*Will was tidying up the shop when Carrie walked back in. He smiled at her and handed her the sword he made for her.* Here you go mate, you're welcome. And its but a shilling. *He said, going back to fixing up the place a bit.*

*Carrie puts a shilling down for Will, and then turns to him* "You wouldn't happen to want any help cleanin' up would you? After all, I bet you're eager to see your wife and kids."

*He gave her a nod and placed the shilling in his pocket as he thanked her. Then he turned to her, surprised by her offer to help him clean. He looked about the little shop and then nodded his head.* That would be nice, thank you. *He smiled, handing her a broom. Then he went back to work on yet another sword, this one would be a gift for a good friend of his. He wiped the sweat from his brow as he worked feverishly on the blade.*

*Carrie took the broom with a nod and began to work. She smiled and hummed a bit to herself. She found herself looking at Will and becoming fascinated with the full attention he gave to his work. She said not a word, but kept tidying up for him. After a long while of sweepin' she was done and sat next to Will and watched him work*

*Will finally had the blade shaped, sharpened, and polished then Carrie came over and watched him work. He looked up at her for a brief moment then got right to work on the handle. Finally he was finished with the sword. He twirled it about a bit and checked it for balance. Everything was as he had hoped and he showed it to Carrie.* What do you think, do you think Jack'll like this? *He asked, setting it down. He leaned out the window for some cool night air. He would deliever it to Jack the next time he saw him. He didn't mind if Jack never used it, he just wanted to make him something as a thanks. He even bought a bottle of rum to give to Jack along with the sword.*
Jacks Sword: The blade was double edged and 3 feet long, made of the finest sterling silver available. Ingraved all around the edge of the sword was the infamous pirate song. The carvings were inlaid with gold. The handle was also made of gold although it had porclin blue paint painting on much of it. And it was thoughtfully shaped like a rum bottle. The knuckle guard was also made of polished gold and the sword was very sturdy. One of the finest Will had ever made.

:Jack stauntered into Port Royale as if he owned the place.....and in his mind, he did indeed own this place. He headed towards the Blacksmith shop he had meet his friend in. Will Turner. Which was....needless to say....a "interestin'" meeting.:
:But Will was a good man...if not a bit....stupid at times. He pushed the door open silently and looked around, as if trying to guess if the blacksmith was even in. He had something for Will. Something every pirate needed. Which was...a bandana. Jack had run acrosss the simple piece of material in Tortuga. It was a deep a blue as the midnight sky in the Caribbean, and fringed with sliver. He knew Will might think him mad for brining him this of all things. But he thought he might get a good laugh out of it. He could just picture Will talking to Norrington wearing it:
:The thought made him snicker to himself, and he looked around the shop slowly, remembering that last meeting:

*Will was still leaning out the window when he heard someone come in. He spun around and saw Jack and he smiled and walked over to him.* Hullo Jack! I made you something, let me fetch it. *Will hurries over to the sword and rum bottle then holds them both out to Jack, smiling. He was happy Jack stopped by, for he hadn't expected him so soon.* What do you think?
