Arry has just left Hobbiton.
Folwren

Using Viss was a good move. Your post was well done.

Do you want to write the entry into the city itself?

Then Folwren, if you want, you can post something about Bror's thoughts about the city - has he ever been there?

I think then we (the Dwarves) should leave the Lorien Elves with the Mirdain and hie it back to our own homes. Don't you think? We'll want to make sure our own preparations against Sauron and his minions are well in place.

When the time jump is made, we can decide then if we want our characters in the Elven city or whether we will continue our guerilla warfare tactics against them from the rear.

I do recall Tolkien writing that at the end, when Elrond and his troops have arrived too late to save the city, but have managed to round up a number of survivors, that Sauron and his army attack them viciously. Elrond and company's retreat is cut off and he and his Elves nearly killed, when King Durin III and an army of Dwarves come out of Moria and rush Sauron's army from behind. Elrond and the survivors of the Mirdain are able to flee to the area that will become Imladris. Sauron chases the Dwarves back to Moria where they seal the West Gate against him.
