The Shambhala Players - Is that a Mainz-Fullham Gladius In Your Pocket, Or Are You Just Happy To See Me?

[Dayman]

Me and my friends were browsing the forums one day, and we saw an amazing proposal for an ETW mod. Comprehensive, visionary, and expansive. While it certainly would be a hard mod to make, the proposal wasn't what caught our eye. The short story about two soldiers, nay brothers in arms is what caught our eyes. It inspired us, we thought, "We must bring this work to life!" We thought different methods, whether through a short movie or play. But the best way was to do it like a radio drama. Enamored with this work of literary might, the Shambhala Players have recorded a faithful, true-to-the-text version of this landmark work in historical fiction. Fully voiced, featuring sound effects and a professional score, this audio version of master412160's untitled short story is known as, "Is that a Mainz-Fullham Gladius In Your Pocket, Or Are You Just Happy To See Me?" We hope you like it, and we hope that the man who inspired it enjoys it too

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Roman Story

Gorius served with Curvus 13 years the are good friends.

Curvus:It look's quiet out there don't you think ?
Gorius :I think we must stay alert all the time,they can come fast out of the woods.
Curvus:yes but there will come a time when I can just live like a citizen and have a farm and go retire.
Captain:go back to your post soldier,the break is over !
storyteller:6 pm at the evening
Gorius:I wonder what we have to eat for the evening.
Curvus:I think chicken or beans maybe.
Gorius:Very tasty food ,don't you think.
Curvus:I think I have eaten to mutch,I go take a nap.
storyteller:later,10 pm in the evening
Gorius:why must we always stand guard so late. A live of a soldier is so hard,but it gives some action in your live.
german warrior:are we ready to attack?
german commander:no, first we need to kill the two guards of the tower, then we can attack the main camp.
german warrior:i will go and kill them. DEAD TO THE ROMANS !!!)
Gorius:hmm, I see something very unclear in the bushes.Maybe warn someone,or maybe it's nothing.
german warrior:sneaking to the wall and climb above to the first guard post.
Gorius:know I see someone.Oh damn. Fast, alert may friend in the other tower, use a torch!!!
german warrior:I am almost there. Then i will cut his head of with may axe and show it to my commander.
curvus:Oh my friend and the camp are in danger. Fast aid my friend (running to the other tower)
storyteller:Gorius is ready to fight for his live when the enemy warrior climbs over the wall with his axe.
Gorius:come and get me, you filty barbarian ! When does Corvus come ?
storyteller:The german warrior climbs over the wall and takes his axe and swings it to Gorius. Gorius avoids the axe. Now Gorius takes his swords and trys to stick it into the german.But the german sees it coming and avoids it,and now swings his axe towords gorius.Just at the moment the warrior wants to hit Gorius,Curvus comes and put his sword into the german.The german lets go of his axe and falls to the ground.
Curvus:Luckly I'm in time or You would be dead. Quickly,we must warn the camp that the Germans are here.
Gorius:yes let's go and warn the camp so we can assemble the army and fight!
storyteller:And so the Romans where assembling there army to go and meet the enemy outside the camp.The Germans now know that their cover is gone and that the Romans know that the're here.The german commander say's:
german commander:soldiers,friends,warriors the Romans know we are here and one this moment are assembeling an army to fight us.I say, let's help them to come to us and in the meantime prepare an ambush.When they come out of the camp to march to us, we'll storm to them with all we've got.Let's kill some Romans !!!

[Caduet]

The storyteller was definitely the best part. Especially the "6 pm at the evening" line. Very well done.

I'm a star - I don't need the Shambhala Players any more! I'm signed up to star in the new Star Wars film!

[webMaster412160]

When does the team make a new voice video ? I can't wait. Should I write a new story ?

[The Sundance Kid]

You definitely should, we'd love one set in the time of the Crusades, or maybe one of the World Wars. We're currently compiling some work to attempt, but if you do another and PM us with it, we'll perform it

[Father Jack]

Yeh I would quite like to have one set in the trenches of WW1
