Very passionate answers, but have we lined up an answer for the original question.
In case you don't get what they're talking about when they say "cheese it up," Lets give you a quick walkthrough. When you first enter the mountain pass area, be sure to be on the upper side of the hill. After the Dragon flies over head, walk to the top side of the bridge where the teifling is looking on, engage with her or not, your call, wasted encounter. Drop off one of your ranged characters, I use Wyll with the bonus damage to EB and knock back. Start moving your party across the gate and the cut screen will activate, followed by Lae'zel's reaction, (trying not to give too much away, they did ask for no spoilers). Once on the other side by the ladder, drop another ranged character, I use Shadowheart or Gale here. Then walk down the side, slowly if your PC is some sort of ranged character, because you don't have to be all the way next to the dragon rider to start the encounter. There is another interactive cutscene, about 60-65% of the time that ends up a fight, or 100% of the time if you are not trying for Lae'zel's favor. Once it begins, who ever is the first PC to activate, move the horn to their inventory, put it into the hotbar, and call for reinforcments. The Orges will pull most of the agro and when the fight is over, they will get a little pissy with you about not having enough to eat. There is one enemy in particular you have to lock down fairly immedately or they will take out 2 characters inside as many turns. That's it, Gith patrol made easy. (Hopefully I didn't give too much away......)
