Cliffhanger
If in town:
The barbarian raiders sails are sighted by the town watch and the alarm is raised. General chaos ensues as the citizens rush to their homes and the guard is mustered. The PC's are views with suspicion or possibly spies depending their interactions with the townsfolk thus far.
If on the road to the mansion:
They may spot smoke rising from the direction of the town and depending on their locale hear/see the town ringing the alarm.

Additional Info
Appearance Abe stands tall and barrel-chested, with a weathered face etched by years of sun and sea. His salt-and-pepper beard, streaked with golden highlights, frames a twinkling blue eye and a perpetually lopsided grin. A faded tattoo of an anchor dances on his muscular forearm, a relic from his days at sea. Though now retired, callouses still cling to his broad hands, reminders of hauling nets and battling storms. His attire is a mishmash of practicality and comfort: sturdy boots, patched trousers, a well-worn fishing vest over a loose linen shirt, and a captain's hat perpetually perched at a rakish angle.

Appearance Anya is a whirlwind of contradictions. Barely out of her twenties, she has eyes the color of storm clouds and a mischievous grin that could charm or intimidate in equal measure. Her raven hair, often tangled and windswept, frames a face etched with both youthful innocence and cunning lines around her eyes. Anya's build is slender but surprisingly strong, honed from years of navigating treacherous streets and eluding guards. She favors practical clothing - leather jerkins, worn breeches, and sturdy boots - but a flash of silk or a glint of silver jewelry always betrays her hidden wealth. Voice/Mannerisms Bond Ideal Flaw Info Anya has a pet magpie named Trinket, who serves as her lookout and occasional accomplice. She carries a hidden dagger, always within easy reach, and knows how to use it without hesitation. Anya speaks several languages, including thieves' cant and a smattering of pirate slang. Despite her profession, she has a soft spot for children and animals, often providing them with food and shelter when she can. Rumors abound about Anya's past - some whisper of a noble upbringing gone wrong, others of a pirate captain as her father. She keeps her secrets close, adding to her mystique. Equipment
