But rather than fight a dragon, I'd have them learn of a powerful Caliph who happens to have a scale in his possession.  This Caliph would gladly offer it to the PCs, if they would but help him with a simple task.  You see, his daughter is betrothed to the eldest son of a neighboring Caliph and, unfortunately, a rather impudent genie has taken up residence at the lone oasis on the border of the two countries. This genie demands tribute from all who pass by and will soon bankrupt both Caliphs.  If the PCs would simply escort his daughter to the neighboring caliph, and, while they're out there, eliminate the troublesome genie, then perhaps he could stand to lose his favorite blue decoration.Mind you, a simple hit on a genie seems pretty straightforward.  But having to do so while keeping a troublesome (and possibly flirtatious) princess and her dowry safe is anohter matter.  And for the right 'Arabian Nights' twist, I would suggest that the genie is actually allied with the Caliph's royal vizier who hopes that the death of the princess will leave him next in line for the throne.  This allows you to have a spy in the caravan who will betray them all to the genie at an inoppotune moment.Now that would be a fine quest.</blockquote>
