Kafei never appears at East Port. But if you defeat the Great Moblin in the Trilby Highlands and talk to the sailors at East Port afterwards they'll tell you where he went.

The Rito leaves the cliff on Dragon Roost when you've both got the Maku Tree's blessing and cleared the Auros Ruins.

The escape formula is the same as basic RPG Maker XP. It takes the agility of the player's party and divides it into the agility of the enemy troop, multiplies the result by 50  and then generates a random number between 1 and 100. Unless modified, this is how all RPG Maker XP games work. I actually made escaping easier by providing an item called the Scoot Fruit which bypasses the check entirely if you have one in your inventory at the cost of consuming it. I've just done a check now though and it's fully possible to escape from battles without scoot fruits. You may have been using a slow team against fast enemies.

It sounds like the necessary sound file is missing. Honestly, I'm not sure how you even found this game, uploading it to Itch.io was an experiment to see if I could get it working on browser (turns out you can't with RPG Maker XP games).  Since people are searching for hit here, I'll try and upload a more standard version of the file that isn't trying the experimental browser stuff that doesn't work. In the mean time, try downloading it from this drop box link https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/i4gl5bz32nbur7yc17evw/JotariZWOE.zip?rlkey=fkfqed...
