Web based adventures

I'm just about finished writing the intro for "Curse of the Necropus" in Death-Test paragraph format and will hopefully get that part live on the web shortly.

My current decision point is how to handle game state. (I'm most certainly going to use PHP and I really don't want to setup a local database with user accounts and such.) Should I:

100: Put the full game state including character sheets into a JSON POST blob and trust in the multi-megabyte post-ability of modern browsers?

234: As above, but encrypt the blob to protect against cheaters?

312: Break down and use local storage on the server?

or

425: Go back through the door I came in.
