I've got Gift of Health researched, but no mage to cast it (the Coatl was my hope, but surprised me in that it only has misc slots, so I'd have to empower it and I don't have the nature gems to spare). Any easier way for the Jotuns to get a 5N nature mage? My second best Nature mage is a 1S/1D/3N/1B Gygja with a Thistle Mace.

Gift of Health would do great, but as you said, you can't spare the nature gems: Casting a proper GoH is gonna run you at least 200+ nature gems. You could cast it baseline level, only 40 gems, but it's definitely not going to stick: At that stage in the game, the AI will likely overwrite it with some crappy thing of their own inside of 3 turns. If it's not worth doing properly, it's not worth doing at all.

Jotuns are also cowards, despite what their supposedly better-than-average morale would have you believe: They regularly run before any of them have even died. In addition to the Horns of Valor that Zen suggested, Herald Lances on your commanders will help even more. Having both at once, plus a Gode casting Sermon of Courage over and over, will help a lot.

Combine all this with what Zen suggested, and you should be able turn the tables on Pan.
