"Well, I was hired on as a guard for the ship, myself."  Ellen answered.  "The mission the ship was on, though, was one of exploration, and it turned out that the captain was actually following after these rumors about an ancient lost garden connected to the elemental plane of air.  We didn't actually make it to the garden, but we did come under attack from some of the inhabitants of it, and myself and this other guard who was hired along with me eventually managed to end the fight without killing anyone.  Once that was all taken care of, we then turned around and headed back home."
