Q&A with Da Boss

The following is from a conversation between Da Boss, his lieutenants, and several recently recruited Free Men

Boss: "Whoo. Been a dizzy few days, huh?" begins Da Boss, "Before we get into da serious plannin', do any of youse have any questions about me or da Freemen or what we are about or any of dat stuff?"

  • Yea, I got a question, whats your real name?"

    "Dat is a very good question. But I got no good answer for it, dere's no good comin' of dat info becomin' common knowledge, know what I mean? I tink I'll need to keep dat to myself for awhile yet"

  • What exactly is our role in this Freemen thing anyway? I mean Why exactly were we specifically chosen for this?

    "Youse each has a different role. I don't know what all of 'em will be, we'll hafta figger it out together-like"

    "I don't see none of youse doin' stuff dat you would object to, know what I mean? But I gotta be clear wit' youse about why youse is doin' sometin' so's youse unnerstan' its for a good reason."

    "I saw each of youse in a dream. And da dream was from a god, actually a goddess but it don't matta, and da dream said a lot of stuff to me but one ting was real clear: dese people in da dream are da ones dat I need to stand against whatevuh is comin'. And sometin' is comin' make no mistake about dat!"

  • That makes some sense, but I mean what particular role does say DB play, or Ellana kind of thing?

    "I dunno what each of youse will be doin' all da time. Ellana's got some sneak about her, know what I mean? I sees her doin' stuff dat maybe some of da rest of youse can't do wit'out raising up suspicions."

    "DangerBlade does a lotta different stuff, and he's one tough little Elf in a fight. Dere's plenty of stuff for someone like dat ta do."

  • But you have no inkling of what it is that might be coming?

    "No, and I don' even know when. But I know it is, and I know we gotta be ready. Da way I sees it, dat means gettin' us established good and proper-like so's when it comes, whatevuh it is, we are as ready as we can be."

  • And you think we...(motions to company in room) are supposed to stop what ever it is? Or help it? What do you mean be ready?

    "No, I tink we all (he motions to include the rest of the safe house) are gonna hafta stop whatevuh it is. I dunno if we can, but I know we's gotta try, right?"

  • How are we gonna determine who guards the crystal and when? Is there a regular schedule that will be set?

    This question addresses the Watch. There is always a group of Freemen that continuously monitors a crystal ball in shifts, keeping a protective eye on the various Freemen and whatever it is they are supposed to be doing. The Watch is also used to investigate things and people that Da Boss is interested in. Usually there is a group standing by whoever is on watch, ready to be dispatched to help out Freemen who are in trouble

    "Dere is a schedule. Youse will need trainin' first, so youse don't have any shifts set for da next few days. Plus, Raven, T'loria and Larrakin all like ta be da Watch so dey get a lotta da shifts."

  • How are the items we find in our missions distributed amoungst the group?

    "If youse is given no udder instructions, what youse finds is yours. But base stealin' can raise suspicions when dere were none. Know what I mean? Also, we do NOT steal from folks who do not have it ta spare. Ever."
