The goblin was forced to sit on the bare ground with his back straightened as much as his injuries allowed. Several kobolds formed a loose circle around him, their weapons within reach and their eyes fixed on every movement he made.
Ka'z sat at the center of the circle on a small protruding rock, giving him just enough height to look down at the prisoner without needing to stand. The campfire behind him cast an uneven orange glow across the scene, making the shadows around Manny's face shift whenever the flames moved.
The goblin had lost both legs below the knees during Ka'z's attack, but Ka'z had quickly used his blood magic to close the wounds and stop the bleeding before he could die from blood loss.
Manny's hands had been tied tightly behind his back, leaving him completely helpless. He could not run, he could not fight, and even if he somehow managed to free himself, there was nowhere he could possibly go with his injuries.
