The Coldest of Blood – Chapter 3 of the Red Star Rising Campaign

The Storm is Coming…

The Red Star Zaraghast blazes overhead. The Blackrot Bog festers around you. And now, as the King’s Causeway looms, an approaching blizzard forces the Hanataz to seek shelter in the Mistwood Hollows… a place best left untouched.

The troupe has suffered dearly. A leader lost. Others near death. But survival cannot wait. Strange tracks line the forest edge, and ogres may be near. You and your companions must brave the storm-darkened trees, scout the monsters, and protect your people before it’s too late.

But what begins as a simple mission becomes a race against time and terror. The woods are alive with malevolent eyes. A dark tower pierces the clouds. Ghostly echoes linger in the cold of night. A strange spirit walks the paths, and a secret about the Blue Veil troupe will soon be revealed.

And while you're away… something terrible is happening back at camp.

The Coldest of Blood brings survival horror, grim decisions, and tragic revelations in equal measure. A masterclass in emotion-driven storytelling, it sets the stakes higher than ever — and lays the chilling foundation for Chapter Four: The Dreadmist Curse.

Immersive Tales. Innovative Design. And Art for… Everything.

At Gooey Cube, we don’t just create adventures. We craft unforgettable tabletop experiences. Our games are meticulously designed to immerse Game Masters - and their players - deep into the shadowed, broken world of Zyathé...

And give GMs everything they could possibly need to weave truly epic tales with ease.

It all starts with story.
Our adventures are rich, sprawling, and emotionally gripping… lovingly crafted for roleplayers who crave more than dungeon crawls plagued with random encounter charts. Written to draw GMs into the narrative just as deeply as their players… each tale is brimming with mystery, danger, and character-driven stakes that evolve over sessions of gameplay.

Prep less. Play more.
Every Gooey adventure comes fully loaded with ready-to-run content: an Adventure Book, a GM Reference Book, gorgeous full-color maps, NPC portraits, item cards, handouts, and so much more. Our unique two-book design keeps the story text and stat blocks side-by-side, so you’re never flipping pages or fumbling for details.

GMs often report saving up to 70% or more of their usual prep time.

A world brought to life. Visually.
We believe players deserve to experience the world they’re adventuring in. That’s why we always include human, hand-crafted art for virtually everything… be that towns, taverns, treasure, monsters, or mysterious strangers. Every visual has a purpose. And every moment is designed to immerse.

Intriguing characters. Deep-rooted lore. Gooey rewards.
From backstory-linked NPCs and game-enhancing extras… to narrative-driven not-so-random encounters... everything contained in a Gooey Cube adventure is meant to make your games more engaging, more immersive, and easier to run.

This isn’t just tabletop. This is storytelling… The Gooey Way.
