When your fighting against multiple enemies use the idiotic AI against themselves. Magic using baddies will hit each other if another is in the way. Equip whatever sword you can and charge into the group, be sure to take out the enemies with shields then the ones without. Last take out the magic users...stay withing close range never roll backward in an attempt th evade attack...the Wartocks aren't srong attacker so take the damage and keep swinging until they die. If you evade roll jump or run away they will run you dow (They are faster) and they will eventually kill you or chase you to another room with stronger enemies.
