...And the High Priestess had seen right through her from the start.  Of course.  The knowledge that the entire area was warded in some sort of lie-detecting spell was interesting, though.  As far as Ellen knew, her heart didn't harbor any sort of malice against orcs or goblinoids, so if what she was told was correct, then she could speak freely, and even lie if need be...  Of course, the High Priestess had obviously been using it to detect if she was dangerous.<br/><br/>"I thank you for your trust, then."  She responded, as the goblin woman made her way over to the pile of pillows and blankets.  "I would also like to apologize for not revealing my nature to you myself.  I've had to learn to become very careful about whom I reveal myself to."<br/><br/>Boy, had that first angry mob been a depressing experience...  Once the Priestess settled in on her soft cushions, she went on to deduce the real reason behind the airship expedition, talk about how much of a problem the games were for her religion, and then invite Ellen to sit with her.  Not wanting to be rude, the ghost accepted the invitation.<br/><br/>"Thank you."  She responded, taking a moment's concentration to allow herself to interact with a comfortable-looking cushion.  Getting up from a sitting position in full plate would ordinarily be quite difficult, of course, but since she could fly, it was considerably easier for her.  "Though, to be honest, I actually was hired for this expedition as a guard.  While there is a clause in my contract that allows my employer to send me down to explore if he finds a place that looks interesting, most of the wording actually does deal with working as a guard for the airship.<br/><br/>"I'm hoping to eventually make it into the games, though."  She added in.  "Although in my case, it's really more by necessity than by choice."
