"So its into the trees we go then?"  Abigail said, tilting her head and at the palm trees surrounding them.  "Shouldn't be too hard to get in, but I don't know how much cover its going to do for us."  She pointed at the tiny organic structures.  "Sure, there's no lack of trees, but their growing so sparsely because that's how they do on a beach, that I can't see them doing much in the way to shield us."  She turned her attention to her crew mates.  "Unless I'm missing something."  A short pause.  "Am I missing something, anything?  I could do with some good news right about now."

She scratched her chin and tapped her foot while she thought.  "Hmmm."  Her eyes moved and rested on their marine captive.  She grabbed her sword and held it up to him.  "You know this island pretty well, right?  So tell me about this path.  Where does it lead, and is there any way we could use to sneak around to the village?  I'm sure we could do more good there than over here in these individualist trees."
