From publisher blurb: Crucible of Life is the third adventure in the Shadows in the Mist campaign. It can be played as part of that campaign or as a standalone adventure. The last survivor of a doomed expedition stumbles through the streets of Anvilgard, bringing news of a hidden Stormvault and an artefact of incredible power. News spreads quickly, drawing the attention of the Blackscale Coil — a cabal of Aelves that control much of Anvilgard through threats and dark magic. The Grand Conclave can not let them reach it first. Two expeditions race from the city to search for the Stormvault, but they must first fight their way through the deadly jungles of the Crucible of Life. Crucible of Life follows the events of Rotten to the Core and sees a party of Soulbound heroes venture into the deadly jungles surrounding Anvilgard. The party must lead an expedition of dozens of trackers, hunters, and scholars from the city and fight through poisonous plants and vicious predators to reach the Stormvault in time. But reaching the ancient Stormvault is only the first step of their journey, as they will need to face the guardians that protect the Vault of the Crimson Twins before recovering what is hidden within.
