- Beat 4 - The Warning (666 words) - “The characters are given an opportunity to turn back, but choose not to; could occur before or after The First Contact with the Monster”.

    - harbinger time

        - some insider knows something and gives the characters a direct “turn back” or “bad times ahead” message

              - need to be some reason why the business ladies would still stay regardless of this warning

                  - they need to finish this retreat to go back to their jobs

         - staff from chapter one (Fiona/Elsie) are reintroduced.  Act as harbinger in some way?

 

- madam (Veronica?) is introduced

    - gives a welcome speech?

        - business ladies can tell something is wrong

        - councilors can also tell something is wrong? Because they have run this retreat before?

    - someone is threatened or killed?

    - someone lured out to the bog and killed?

    - being in a safe space when something bad happens?

    - one character is an idiot

        - this makes it so that the idiot can see/do something and no one will believe her.  Because she is an idiot

        - is the idiot in a place where she should not be?

        - find a clue/lures her to go to somewhere she should not be

    - bus is already gone

    - bridge that can be destroyed

    - supernatural fog that prevents escape

    - woods close in over road to trap the ladies
