75 Escape (AVOT)

Rhain sharpened his senses, scanning for the presence of hunters in the vicinity. From a distance, he heard anxious voices gradually fade away. He moved stealthily through the dark, maze-like hallways, and as he neared an exit, he caught sight of several hunters through a window. They were hastily arming themselves before vanishing into the woods.

Frosthill had either created a significant enough distraction to occupy the hunters, or they had departed on a separate mission altogether. 

Emerging from his subterranean prison, Rhain found himself inside an unassuming cottage. He detected the aura of two hunters—one guarding the front door and another somewhere within the home. Deciding that incapacitating them would buy him more time for his escape, he chose to strike first.
