When the guards offered the shovels, no one took it at first, which was not surprising. Most just thought of it as an insult instead, and tried to climb up, firing up their side, telling them that if they were so cold, then they should just grab the items the Alterrans had!!
But, really, how could it be so easy to climb a non-scalable 8-meter wall with Level 7 sentries, especially when they were experiencing major 'freezing' 'shivering' 'caught a cold' debuffs?
They lasted for about two hours before someone finally succumbed. It was still a pair of earth elementalist. "Don't you dare make us prisoners of war!!"
They yelled, getting bad looks from their allies. However, they were shivering badly and didn't even have the energy to teach them a lesson.
