Escape the City
A downloadable zine
The Zealous Order of Kol Ban Ri has spread its influence in the region surrounding the island city of Wotta Rue. Some have followed the Order willingly, some have been somehow charmed or manipulated into it, and still, others have been frozen in place by a cruel spell. Tonight, Wotta Rue was overrun by frothing zealots on a quest to purify and convert the city for Kol Ban Ri. The four bridges leading out of the city are each guarded by a different mysterious foe.
Can you escape the city?

Several of the creatures and NPCs lack a STR stat. Is this intentional?
If a stat is missing, it is default 10 (if playing Cairn).
This is the correct answer!
Thank you, Will!
I’m really bummed I just learned about this and it’s sold out at exalted funeral. I prefer to play my rpgs screen free, so without pdfs. Staples is now charging 75 cents per color page. If the author reads this and wants to sell me a print cooy, if possible, let me know. Looks cool.
So glad you’re interested in running it! You can buy copies at BrookletGames.com :)
thanks!
Picked up the print copy from Exalted Funeral, this module is great.
So glad you enjoyed it! I hope to do more books in this style.
