How about this:
You hear a strange, unearthly sound and four men suddenly materialize
in front of you. All four wear the same uniform - differently coloured
shirts, tight black trousers and shiny boots. They appear unarmed, having
neither swords nor missile weapons. One of them, wearing a red shirt, is
promptly attacked by your enemy and falls to the ground. Two of the men
pull strange-looking metal devices from their belts and point them at your
enemy. Beams of light, clearly powerful rune magic, shoot out of the
devices and strike down the attacker. The last man kneels down by his
fallen companion in the red shirt, waves another weird-looking device over
him and turns to the leader of the strange group; "He's dead, Jim".... :)
Sandy recommends different films for Gloratha-inspiration. I would also include "Life of Brian" - one of the best (and funniest) views on the Roman (Lunar) occupation and rival rebel groups. "Masada" gets my vote too - a brilliant portrayal of the everyday life of roman soldiers during a long siege (good ideas for Whitewall). Finally, let me recommend the hilarious "Chelmsford 123" - not a movie, but an english tv-series about Aulus Paulinus, newly-appointed roman governor arriving in barbaric Chelmsford....great stuff!
