Ha! Good point. I suppose I ought to actually look up the rules before making my own ruling...Chase rules have a dash usage limit depending on con. If you use two dashes in a single turn, you just blow through your usages faster.

Whyyyyy did you have to remind me that I totally forgot the hobgoblin martial advantage on Tuesday when I was DM'ing? It might have really changed things!Just remember that the rogue does not always want to run into the room first. Just as my poor thief that ran in first thinking that the rest of the party was close behind. He then was surrounded by hobgoblins with their bonus damage and killed him.
Throw a tabaxi on that build.
Simple as, and I've never been sure of the ruling- so now I'm asking the experts.
D&D 5e
PC Rogue (level 2 and above- Cunning Action) makes Move, then turns Action into Dash, and then Bonus Action = Cunning Action = Dash some more, for triple speed move this turn, and any other.
Is this right?
Same for Orcs?
Aggressive. As a bonus action, the orc can move up to its speed toward a hostile creature that it can see.
So for the Orc, Move- Action = Dash, Bonus Action = Aggressive, and here I come.
Way? Or No Way?
If not the actual rule, then how do you play it?

Nope. Rogue with cunning action can do 2x dash = move four times his normal movement.
Action dash means you can use all of your action to double your movement
For other class (every one can do it with his normal action) it means e.g. you forfeit your attack or casting but move e.g. 60 instead of 30.
For rogue it is that one plus another action dash = another move at double movement rate = 120. You lose out your bonus action (you used it up by "invoking" cunning action)
Same goes for fighter with action surge, he can dash for double his movement. If he in addition spends his action surge on the action dash he can do the same trick for a total of 4x his movement.
The only difference for the rogue is that a rogue can do it every round. I would limit this to a reasonable number of times though, I think at some point a constitution check or athletics check would be in order.
Since a round is 6 seconds I would limit this to 10x without some other check - if out of combat. If it happen to be that the rogue e.g. kites a mob using this technique I would not limit it, it is part of his class mechanic.
The orc in your example would do 3x his move if using action dash / aggressive so that one you got right.
Where are you getting the four times movement from? Dash increases your movement by your Speed, it doesn't modify your Speed. Double Dashing isn't 2 x Speed + 2 x Speed, it's Speed + Speed (action Dash) + Speed (bonus action Dash).
