First, let me clarify something - Sauron's army is not driven back by the Dwarves and Elves. The Dwarves in Khazad-dum will rush out to keep Sauron's army from overpowering the Elves from Lindon. Sauron's army turns and chases/battles the Khazad Dwarves back to the West Gate, where the Dwarves retreat beneath the mountain and shut the doors against intrusion.

I would expect that this (when Sauron's army's eye is turned away from them and toward the Khazad Dwarves) is when Elrond et al will pick up what refugees they can find and make for a safe haven. (which will turn out to be the hidden valley that will become Imladris).

I would like to have a battle scene for my character, Riv.

So, it seems to me any Elves of Ost-in-edhil who want to die off can certainly do that. The Dwarves and Lindon representative can then probably finish off their part of the game in their own manner.

How does that sound?
