That very night, the celebration moved to Ya'qub's "modest" home on a hill overlooking the harbor. Ya'qub and Sahra stood close together on a wide balcony, enjoying a drink and the view. Far below them a gibbous moon was reflected in the tranquil bay.

You could not have set up a more romantic scene for Ya'qub's courtship! Hah!

Well, I set 'em up, its up to you to knock 'em down.

[Ya'qub]

Folks, I hope everybody will bear with me here. I'd like to play out the courtship and wedding of Ya'qub and Sahra. With Michael's blessing, I'd like to do something along the lines of Aladdin's wedding from the original Arabian Nights, i.e., a parade through town where Rajaf and Maarouf through coins out to the crowd as the procession passes by, followed by several days of feasting and of course, the wedding night. But that will be something just for Ya'qub and Sahra...

Afterwards, Ya'qub will begin to get itchy feet and will be ready for a new journey. I'm still not sure if he will want Sahra to accompany the group, being a newlywed and all, or if he will be overprotective of her and not want to risk her to any more danger.

We shall see.

But I'm looking forward to what happens next!

I'm all for it. Court and feast away!

Incidentally, don't forget that Sahra may have something to say about whether she stays or goes...

[Waleed Ibn Alurah]

Sounds good to me

My blessing and encouragement overflows!

This is a good chance for each player to flesh out their character and the setting. (Waleed has me hopp'n like a one-legged river dancer!) I'll drop the next adventure hook when the time is right. It'll find you, no need to go looking for it- just "go on about your lives citizens, there's nothing to see here..."

Yeah, if only I could get some results instead of lip service, HAH!

[Waleed Ibn Alurah]

Waleed has three gems from the Hag's cave. One goes to Keesha, one to Ya'qub and he'll keep the last. First come, first serve

a emerald that even in the firelight blazed brilliantly.

a golden pearl

a pretty rose quartz

[Waleed Ibn Alurah]

you know, I've read this a couple of times and keep thinking "isn't she going to choke?"

"she breathed deeply while drinking some of her wine"

So, it's up to us, then?

I think Ya'qub will choose the emerald, and present it as a wedding gift to Sahra, to match her fiery green eyes.

Ah, True Love!

Which leaves the Golden pearl or Rose Quartz for mi'lady Keesha. Which one oh mage extraordinaire?

[Salah]

Ha! That's a great new avatar for Waleed. Just the way I picture him. ;D

[Waleed Ibn Alurah]

So, Mike is going to write up the wedding, right? Poor Mike, his work is never done

It's the age-old curse of the GM... ask him what the room looks like, he's gotta tell you. Ask him to run your character's wedding, well, you get the picture...
