08: Ambush At Devil's Overlook is the eight mission of Myth: The Fallen Lords.

Journal Entry
Friday November 14, Devil's Overlook, Bagrada

The snow hasn't stopped in two days, and in some places the drifts are already twice the height of a man. Even The Fallen will have to wait until spring before they try to cross the mountains here again. But not all of the enemy retired ahead of the snow. For the last two hours we've watched a column of a hundred soulless, separated from their masters and obviously lost, wandering the canyons below. The Dwarves are running about like delirious children. It should be a spectacular ambush.

Rabican has held Seven Gates, and the snow has begun there as well. We have done the unthinkable. We have pushed The Fallen back to the mountains.

But our success here is tempered by Alric's failure to return west with the eastern army before winter, and the Watcher's continued presence behind us. It's not going to be an easy winter.

Background

 * The soulless have split into small groups and are searching for a way out of the canyon. Set minefields of satchel charges and wait for them to cross the frozen lake toward you.
 * Hint: double clicking selects nearby like units.
