Rally is the first campaign of Unbalanced Encounters. The first season also includes seven bonus arcs: standalone short stories that are also set in Ostilla.

Premise

Rally focuses on the lives of two denizens of a remote logging community — Isaac and June — and the Imperial guard dispatched to protect them — Harisa and Guard. At the outset of the first arc, the four are engaged in a nearly industrial-scale deforestation initiative for the god-killing empire. But they soon discover that many gods still exist and that the Empressar’s schemes might cause the gods to tear the world asunder. And it’s up to them to put a stop to it. During their adventures, they wrestle boar, dismantle assassination rings, travel to the afterlife, and learn a little something about themselves along the way.
