1. Finish a more detailed write up of my Blue Age history, while also working out the cosmology (esp the Black and the Grey) so it will all gel together. To be followed by a history of the Green Age etc.
2. Get my adventure - Valley of the Melting Flesh - together into a coherent whole and converting to PDF.
2b. Making changes to my new monster for the adventure and balancing the template for it. (since its a bit out of whack at the moment)
3. Doing a write up for the 3 High Templars of Sielba, Sorceror Queen of Yaramuke.
4.Continue running my Yaramuke Campaign.

Ok, you have peeked my interest now.
Must tell me more!
Anyway, this is a short synopsis for the adventure, should give you an idea at least.
In my campaign the PC’s – who are working for the security templarate of Yaramuke, are sent to deal with a raiding band. In the adventure ill have the hook be more generic, since in most campaigns yaramuke was destroyed a thousand years ago. But a hook should be easy – sent to destroy them, stumble across the remnants of a caravan attack, part of a caravan that is attacked and then are after revenge.
Anyway, the raiding band is led by a Fire cleric, who as part of the initiation into his group melts the left side of a person’s face, to test their toughness, pain resistance and willingness to be a part of the band. [The Tribe of the Melted Flesh]
Ive summarised the adventure below: the parts aren’t all of equal size.
Part One the PC’s track down the raiding band to their cave hideaway in a valley.
Part Two the PC’s sneak into the cave at night and end up fighting the Fire Cleric and his chief henchmen. During the fight most of the tribe, fearing a larger group come to destroy them, flee into the network of caves.
Part Three the PC’s chased the injured Fire Cleric through the caves, coming to a dead end in the cave where the walls are marked with ancient symbols and a hole has been smashed in the rock(by the cleric), leading deeper into the cave, to a place long forgotten, where the PC’s encounter twisted animal hybrids, and humanoid creatures with strange features and powers.
Part Four the PC’s enter an ancient Halfling structure, long buried. They discover the corpse of a Defiler who came to this place seeking the power of the ancients, but instead reawakens the life machine within.
This machine radiates an aura that causes the Blending, where humanoid is blended with animal. For example, the defiler gained the claws and padded feet of a Tigon, but lost the ability to cast magic when his hands changed.
Before the change occurred he sealed up the structure, confining himself and the machine.
The fire cleric comes across the machine and is Blended, his previous wounds make the change more substantial and quicker, he becomes a monster, which the PC’s kill.
The PC’s can then destroy the machine, giving those who are becoming the blended the chance to make a FORT save to reverse the effects, or even accept the change (gaining the blended template).
Part Five the party returns to the original cave structure, discovering that the rest of the tribe that had fled, have been mutated together into a gigantic, multi limbed blob of flesh and screaming mouths.[The REAL Melting Flesh] They fight, and hopefully, defeat the giant blob creature, but during the fight the cave structure was weakened and it begins to collapse.
Cue, running madly for the exit. THE END. (roll credits)
The sound you have just heard is the sound of the above gaming adventure being stolen for an Exalted campaign (i.e., the game produced by White Wolf, not Book of Exalted Deeds).
--thank you, this idea will come in handy NB

2. Get my adventure - Valley of the Melting Flesh - together into a coherent whole and converting to PDF.
I liked it, specially the "detailed Blue Age History" part... not to mention the cosmology...
If you want i can email you the adventure once ive finished writing it up.
Ill put up my blue age history in short form in a couple of days, so you guys can have a chance to logic bash it :D
Its not actually an alternate history - its actually what REALLY happened, its just rajaat, the champions etc. have been lying/didnt know the truth
