There is a battle scene - a nice big one when we rescue the hobbits. Once we get them all on board - then the time transfer happens

Sounds good.
But what about the last question I raised? If Sauron knows the hobbits have been singled out for rescue, even after the fact, doesn't that put the third age in jeopardy? Don't we have to try and make it look like a more general rescue, by opening the prison doors on at least some of the Men who must also have been imprisoned nearby?
When we originally planned the rescue way back in the beginning, we thought it would take place immediately before the flood. Then no one would have known about the hobbits' disappearance. But we are doing it a whole week ahead---for legitimate tactical reasons. So don't we need to cover our footsteps somehow?
Are we going to kill off every guard? Or will some still be alive to go tell their boss what happened? Even if we kill them all, Sauron's minions would see that the hobbit cells, and only the hobbit cells are empty. Don't we need to make sure some other cells are empty too? They don't need to know who we put on the boats and who just ran away. In the confusion of battle and all that would not be clear.
Can we still use "Ulmo's fog" as a protection going down the river for the ships? I liked that idea.
