Looks right except I think you left out Bless, but that doesn't make a difference here. As a matter of fact, I think everyone forgot bless. Was that at the mount or the rider? I recorded it for the rider but if that's not what you meant, let me know before the end of the round. There's probably some cover penalty for shooting past a large ally, but it's hard to miss a Gorthuk's touch AC.
Round 2:
Chak
Jaysin
Kaa
Jezebel
Tessara
Hania
Yellow Rider
Orange Gorthuk and Rider (Rider -48, Mount -50)
Red Warlord (-45)
Green Warlord (-13)
Jaysin lets off a flurry of shots, the first of which bounces harmlessly off of the Gorthuk's thick hide, but the second fells it.
Ride:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
The rider skids off of the Gorthuk, landing on his feet but is quickly met by another arrow, leaving him reeling. Kaa moves up and finishes the job, cutting him down with his ectoplasmic blade.
The last rider moves forward, drawing another javelin, and ineffectually hurls it at the enlarged Hania.
Attack:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
The two warlords move forward and take a precarious position on the grease.
With some quick footwork, Kaa strikes at the orc on his approach, then slides back and thrusts in again. His second strike is weak and a bit wild, but the orc is clearly off balance within the grease, and a bit overly exerted due to his rage and the blow manages to leave a rather gristly mark.
Round 3:
Chak
Jaysin
Kaa (-13)
Jezebel
Tessara
Hania (-29, May take AoO on red)
Yellow Rider
Red Warlord (-45)
Green Warlord (-50)
The off-kilter orcs take quite a beating... Chak slashes at his mark and Hania takes an opportunistic strike at hers, but both of them keep on their feet. Jaysin unloads a quartet of arrows into the orc attacking Hania and it takes the full volley to finally end him. Hania carves twice at Chak's sparring partner, dropping him on the last swing as well.
Those barbarians can sure take a hit...
The last standing orc screams for backup as he charges Hania with his lance "The horde rides to WAR!"
The orc's movements are awkward and the strike with the lance, without the aid of the Gorthuk's momentum, is unable to punch through Hania's plate.
Cavalier is AC 17, 64 HP + 14 Con and ferocity. Once someone does 78 damage to him feel free to take some time to heal up, although keep an eye on slow healing effects if you want to keep your buffs going.

Tess uses her Misfortune hex against the lone opponent.
The vanguard on your side of the ambush has been broken, but the artillery is continuing to rain down on the soldiers in the field, and waves of orcs trickle through to assault the caravan. In addition however, with the break in their main force you have a clear path to take on the most dangerous of the orcish foes... their leaders.
Go ahead and patch up while you decide on your next move:
Take down the archers
Defend the caravan
Take the attack to their leaders
I'll move forward this evening or as soon as I see a clear decision. I'll give an estimate on remaining buff time for minutes/level buffs depending on where you go. Kaa's shield has 5.6 minutes remaining, Enlarge Person has 7.7 minutes remaining, Bless has 8.6 minutes remaining. Expect a few minutes to pass as you push forward towards your next goal plus whatever time you use to heal up.

I guess this is as good a time to go for the glory as any. Let's take on the leaders!

Tess casts Confusion, catching all three enemies. She then moves 5 squares to the left, and one square north, stopping just north of the raised wall.
Jaysin and Jezebel step forward, and Jaysin lets loose an arrow. His shot narrowly weaves the gap between the ruins, but fails to punch through the Orc's armor. Tessara moves around the northern ruin and addles the minds of 2 out of the 3 orcs.
One of the confused orcs makes his way up the steps to attack the priest, although he seems not the most competent fighter around...
Hania and Kaa can both act, I'll splash Red's action in where appropriate. Since Hania's player isn't feeling well, if she hasn't posted after a while feel free to give suggested actions for her.
I'll use those if it comes time to bot.
Round 1:
Jezebel
Tess
Chak
Jaysin
Blue Mugek (Confused)
Kaa
Red Champion Gutrattle
Hania
Yellow Wrath Priest (Confused)
Hania moves forward, towards the enemies. She also calls for her celestial spirit to come upon her sword. Single move, calling spirit is also a move action. +1 frost this time.
However, he stumbles a little as he moves around the witch and his timing is clearly thrown off. Stand still when I pass, witch! Jaysin clearly doesn't like to accept blame for any of his misfortune.

Tess smiles broadly, seeing her Confusion spell taking strong hold. She follows it up on the not confused defender, trying to prevent him from moving at all.
