Option B has the risk of enemy troops climbing up the poop chute though

If they climbed up the poop chute to take the castle they deserve the castle

You think that's bad? Imagine your whole family falling into the cesspit during a party

That’s…

On the one hand, you get to be the guy that let everyone in and ensured victory. Couldn’t have done it without ya.

On the other, you crawled through shit to do it. You’re now forever the battalion’s shit crawler, and probably smell like it even when you don’t.

You’d be both celebrated and ridiculed til the end of your days.

How do you even add that to your regimental colors? If a commemorative medal is struck, what does it look like?

History in the making:

It is likely that the humiliation of Château Gaillard played a part in the decision of English barons to challenge King John. That in turn led to one of the most important events in English history: the sealing of Magna Carta.[1]
