Is it okay

If my character is like...

farther back, taking the job of taking down any enemies that try to slip past and loot/pillage/burn/destroy anything behind, or try to flank the soldiers?

And can I have a better description of where we're fighting? At first I thought it was a bridge, where our side is on the far side, the city on the opposite side, and the enemies trying to take the bridge from us to reach the city- and yet, launching onself from roof to enemies would mean crossing some chasm?

I have no idea the layout we're dealing with, besides buildings, bridge, wall and broken gate.

Ideally, one would want to keep enemies from getting through the gate, but I guess that's out the gate, so to speak.
