GREAT WARG
Pio will soon be making boat assignments. Where would you like to be placed?
(Note the whole rescue operation will not take place until probably next Tuesday when Child can be back with us - not to mention the ships and the Teleri have not arrived as yet, and Levanto has several more trips to make to the caves.)
There will be 20 elven ships plus the Star. the Star will have to be positioned in the southern bay into which the River Siril drains. Veritas will have to be on that ship with the crystal. Angara will also probably stay there.
The 20 Telerin ships will go quickly upriver to receive the hobbits. Pio, Child, and Rose will assuredly be on the lead swan ship. Anacalimon will be asked to be further down the line, if not stay on the Star. He should not engage the 'enemy' in physical combat at this time.
I'm not sure which ship Mithadan wants to be on.
Pio needs to have the strong osanwe links she has already forged when she tried her previous boat lifting experience. They will assist her in this larger operation, especially if it has to be done quickly and in the midst of some battle encounter.
As to Sauron- in 'The Akallabęth'(the Sil), he is on the island until the island is submerged:

For Sauron himself was filled with great fear at the wrath of the Valar, and the doom that Eru laid upon the sea and land. It was greater far than aught he had looked for, hoping only for the death of the Númenoreans and the defeat of their proud king . . . even as he laughed at his own thought, thinking what he would do now in the world, being rid of the Edain forever, he was taken in the midst of his mirth, and his seat and his temple fell into the abyss.

This is, of course, when his spirit rises out of the deep and passes as a shadow and black wind over the sea to Mordor.
Yes, once the hobbits are on board, we will shift immediately back to the safety of the Fourth Age, get the ailing hobbits back to a semblance of health, and then proceed on to the last of our story - where the hobbits are offered the choice of becoming hobbrim or staying hobbits (As I recall this will be on the now isolated small island which was formerly the top of Meneltarma.)Then eventually we will take the hobbits back to the early Third Age where they will at some time migrate back to the Shire. (I am a little unclear how this will all work out - I'm a one crisis at a time sort of person. But since all our other crises have worked themselves out, I have great faith that this one will,too!)
