I'm adding this zone to Iceclad, in the category of "Warp-prone garbage areas I'd rather play a halfling paladin than fight in."
I'd seriously say 2/3 of my fights against the guards or the ice giants ended with them warping away. I literally could not get a kill on the guards without them warping. Made me very angry...so I left. Hell with them, they're not worth the effort, either of them.
