It isn't long before she moves up from all fours and starts sprinting; evidently forgetting the rest of the group. Navarra, seeing this, rushes back towards the toward to try to get Fenic.
Zolis staggers to a slow, and then turns around. "Huh? Oh yeah, you guys. Well hurry up; we are in a contest, and I'm not going to lose!" She turns back around, following whatever trail she found.
Zolis slows to a stop, ended her steps in a dark clearing. "Huh?" She says, before adding. "Yeah, you are probably right." Vadek, you can hear Navarra and Fenic running towards you; though still a ways back. Suddenly you are unable to see Zolis in the dark open field; and a sinister and menacing laugh echoes through the woods.
Vadek quickly thumbs the switch on his glaive and the weapon loosens much tension, snapping open into a bow. He draws an arrow and nocks it, ready for what is coming.
From within the darkness Vadek hears; "That isn't your friend. He only seeks to claim your glory; he wants to earn your Hero Rank and leave you to fail. You should stop him; NOW!" All of a sudden Zolis charges out of the darkness, directly towards Vadek.

The woods are too dark to see the source of the voice in the darkness, so as you unleash an arrow at Zolis, she bats it aside with her sword. She advances on you, as you begin to fall back, but her moment is suddenly slowed as grass and vines begin growing up her legs; wrapping them together and causing her to fall forward onto her face. Moments later Fenic and Navarra are at your sides. "What is going on?" Navarra asks, with caution on her face. "Who was laughing?" Fenic's deep voice asks.
(Wisdom Save: 14) "Controlled?" Zolis says with a look of confusion on her face. "No one would dare control Zolis!" Anger spreads across her face. (Strength Save:19) She then begins ripping out of the plants, getting back up to her feet; pulling out her second sword.
"You see how weak your teammates are? Her little weeds can't even hold you down; how could working with them lead you to victory?" The voice in the darkness says. (Wisdom Save: 13) Navarra takes a step back in offense to the statement, replying; "How rude!"

"I'll find the source, you just take it out when I do!" Zolis screams and charges back into the darkness. Moments later the sound of eerie bells begin to play and the laughter returns. "If you seek to end me, you should not seek me in my element." The voice says in harmony to the sound.

"I guess it's better than just standing around here." She replies.
Vadek nods, and stalks off into the woods in the direction Zolis went.
Vadek finds Zolis on her hands and knees looking closely to the grass. She doesn't seem to notice you approaching.
Vadek stops and keeps quiet, shouldering his glaive, he watches and doesn't interfere with Zolis' work.
After several moments, she begins to move along the ground towards the north, still on all fours. As she goes her pace begins to pick up.
Vadek gives Navarra a gesture with his head, and begins following Zolis, attempting to stay out of her way, and let her do her tracking thing.

"Zolis! Slow down, wait for the others." Vadek follows after her, sending Bolt back with Navarra.
Zolis staggers to a slow, and then turns around. "Huh? Oh yeah, you guys. Well hurry up; we are in a contest, and I'm not going to lose!" She turns back around, following whatever trail she found.
(There are some important questions for your character on the OOC thread. Your character will be arriving over there when the Arena adventure is over; but it doesn't hurt to get a little prep in before hand.

"The competition is working together. You need to slow down!" Vadek says in hushed tones.
Zolis slows to a stop, ended her steps in a dark clearing. "Huh?" She says, before adding. "Yeah, you are probably right."
