I had hoped not to have any "march" posts; that is, unless you want some "march" time for your character to develop something.
I was hoping to wait just until the city had fallen and do a short post of how the Lindon and Dwarf forces had arrived at the battle scene and attempted to repulse Sauron's forces. (We are presently at a nebulous time and distance from the battle.)
We could then have a few battle posts in which we are pushed back.
Then the Khazad Dwarves could stream from the West Gate and draw off Sauron's forces from us. At that point we can actually go into where the city was - it will be levelled and either pick up refugees there or retreat to some other site where we will run into refugees.
The Dwarves can then elect to leave at that point or continue with us back toward the mountains - you won't be able to get back in the West Gate, I think. you'll need to go over the mountains and in through the East Gate.
Does this sound OK?
