If I can I talk while my party backs up.  If there is no feasible reason for us to be there, I go into bladesong, take disengage and go right past the orcs to the door on the other side and throw it open, my move is 40 so I make it in one turn without dash.  So now I am behind the orcs and opening the door to the temple they are guarding.  Depending on the exact positioning and ho many OAs I face I might take bladeward instead of disengage or I might take dash and just go straight through the door and start looking for the princess.I am still pissed at my party for being so close by the way.  The rogue being close I could handle  but not the rest of them and I am likely going to take damgage because of it..So the now it is the bad guys turn.  They can go after the girl invading the temple or go after the party or split up and do both.  I think they likely do the latter if it is my DM. Assuming dash was too risky and I am still in the room - with the wall I think only 4 can attack the bladesinger in melee and those 4 probably do.  The other 2 either attack the bladesinger with their javelins (I think they have javelins right?) or they go after the other party members who were  stupid.  We are going to say they go after the party members.Round 2 the party members retreat through the door they came in, using disengage if necessary, the bladesinger takes diseengage and goes deeper into the complex.  Presumably the orcs follow her, but she has more movement than they do so she is outpacing them.  She moves 35' keeping them out of melee range, they do throw javelins, but she has cover from those in the rear and none hit.  Now the party is fighting 2 enemey and hopefully can handle themRound 3 the bladesinger uses tumble and goes back through the four enemy following her, she has advantage on this roll and a higher dexterity and is probably proficient.  She takes 2 or 3 OAs so this is risky even with a high AC.   Alternatively if she has it she could use misty step here, get on the other side without an OA, take dash action and go all the way back to the front door this round.  She is not going to do that thoughHopefully her allies have dispatched at least one of the two that stayed with them and hopefully they are still alive.  The party now controls the chokepoints, something they would have had in round 1 with better positioning.  From here on the fight is easy because the enemy can't get to the squishy characters.That is how I could play it with a really stupid party and still use minimal resources.   I probably use 1-2 shield spells and can probably finish the fight with no more spells.</blockquote>
