Sickle shares his plan would be to cast Stone Shape to block the door, and an Ice Block over the portal to cover there rear. But only once Badger is in the room. Start with the stone wall to block over the door after Badger is in. Then the ice block over the portal.
With the plan ready and the sound of action coming from out in the temple, Sickle turns to Badger, he briefly closes his eyes, the energy of the earth around him seeping into a reservoir within him. His eyes open and he touches Badger. Badger, you feel his icy cold hand press against your warm skin as he fills your body with magic. Likewise, the small gnome, already realizing that his plan will work, confidently uses his connection to the mystical energies to bind a spell around his body, concealing it from view. He quietly moves to the portal.
The group looks around. Listening to the sound of troops moving within the temple. From across the temple they see archers appear, taking partial cover behind walls as they loose arrows down the passage, past the giant gong, across the temple room and down the fall hallway into the harem. The group looks around as the harem men and women, Yuan-ti all, press themselves against the walls. One of the Yuan-ti leaps into the portal and vanishes.
Arrows are whizzing into the harem and clattering off walls, as everyone stays pressed out of the way. It's been 20 seconds. Ten more second until you're supposed to go. Who is going to go first? And...Silas, are you passing the cloak to the man and woman, for them to attempt to use?

"Try to stay safe. I would like the cape back but if it seems like your safety is endanger, run away with it," Silas states as he pulls it off and hands it over.

"Treasure room right?" Grenk says and with that he hops onto the portal and teleports to the treasure. Should he see one he will move 5 feet off the portal and strike the creature twice.
Silas, how do you respond to the woman? Aside from the Yuan-ti in this room, and the body of Orvex, only you, Sickle, and Mandra remain with the couple who are wondering how to use this precious magical item you've loaned them.

Silas realizes that no one has defined how far up these folks should go from this spot. In fact, there's no real way for you to know. There could be a building up there, a wall, a tree, a bush, or nothing and they could go 20 feet too far and fall. You roughly know where ground level is...roughly...but there's nothing flat about the city above. In fact, as it comes to the details of the plan, suddenly it doesn't seem like the two people can safely use the cloak. Mandra grabs the man and woman and pulls them to the portal, then vanishes. They each step on and vanish after her, with Silas and Sickle right after, leaving the clattering of poisoned arrows behind.
----------- Some time earlier --------- <click....starts timer>
Badger, you appear in the throne room. Your heart skips a beat as a massive hyrdra awaits you....it's multiple heads wavering around, the creature seeing in all directions at once. Some of it's heads drooling, some of them sniffing at the air, others staring intently at the portal along with 6 other warriors here, archers with arrows out aimed directly at him. A moment passes of fear that someone will see through his spell, but then nothing happens. He ..oh so quietly .... clambers up the wall away from the portal. He picks a spot on the far side of the room, near the ceiling, that gives. him cover from the hydra behind a big pillar. (6 seconds pass) ....and then casts his spell. His body shimmers into visibility as he releases the magic that cause the loud sounds of battle to erupt on near the water. The Hydra heads pivot to look, as do the archers. (6 seconds pass). Two warriors from the other room run out the door to the treasure room and glance about, "Sziiith zaka narr taka tak..." "Geen hytha mos martena!" They shout back and forth in brief confusion.... no one notices the gnome clinging to ceiling hiding near the pillar. (6 seconds pass).
A Yuan-ti male dressed in see through light green and red fabric appears in the portal. He looks up at the hydra heads that pivot to face him. He has a brief moment to scream before the three hydra heads snap down upon him, tearing him to pieces, blood spraying across the wall and floor of the room. (more chaos).
Badger, 4th round, what do you do? You can probably sneak past the two warriors who have emerged from the treasure room, but you think there are two more inside.

4th round: If Badger can see into the treasure room (or at least a spot on the ground behind where the two warriors now stand) he will cast Misty Step as a bonus action to appear at that point. Presumably the two warriors are still looking away from the door toward the 'battle-sound' and the two in the treasure room are still focused on the portal, but Badger will try to remain as quiet and inconspicuous as possible (Stealth: 18, use inspiration for advantage) and walk up the walls and across the ceiling as far into the back corner of the room as possible. If any of the yuan-ti see him, he can cast Fire Bolt cantrip as an action (Attack: 25 Damage: 10 fire)
5th round: If all going well, Badger will cast Fear on any remaining yuan-ti in the room, using the Portent roll of 10 for one of the yuan-ti saving throws. By his calculations this should be about the time that the others start appearing through the portal.
(Have used spell slots for Invisibility, Misty Step and Fear, as well as Inspiration. Let me know what works and what doesn't.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Badger uses Misty Step to arrive on the far side of the room behind the desk, near the hole. The two warriors are nervously glancing back and forth between the portal and the doorway, but Badger is behind them either way, so they don't see him. "Nacoth siplenta? Siplenta?!?" they're swaying to towards the doorway.
Badger casts Fear. 4
One of the warriors turns and flees out the door. The other warrior grabs for him and yells as he runs away. He's staring full at the door with his back to both Badger and the portal when Grenk appears on the portal, stepping forward, blade ready, with Mal right behind him. A blast of magic from Badger, Grenk's chops, and Mal stabs and the snake man goes down with a strangled cry.
Boris appears, hand axe in hand. Ham next with mace in hand.
Then....no one. The couple, Mandra, Sickle, and Silas are not there.
One of the Yuan ti arrives at the door looking in, his eyes darting about. He leaps away from the door before you can attack him. You hear him yelling. Mal, he's yelling, "THEY'RE IN RAS NSI'S CHAMBERS!!!!"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Mal will pull out her crossbow and attempt to hide behind the throne and ready an action to fire at the first enemy he sees attempt to come through the doorway. "Now what are we doing and where are the others?"
(Won’t Minor Illusion cause Invisibility to drop?)
(True, any spell will drop it. Well Badger will be on the ceiling, and can Hide before casting the cantrip.)

"Want me to get em? I should get them right?" Grenk questioned quickly as he stepped onto the portal.
Ooc, if I recall it wasn't an action to activate the portal and he could flash there and back?
If he can Grenk will flash over there and then back.
