The disengage option is simple and removes any special considerations about positioning. If you said "I disengage", you did and it doesn' matter how many enemies are still adjacent to you. If you can't escape due to your positioning, you can't disengage, but you can still use powers without worrying about taking extra damage.</blockquote>
