This man seemed dangerous, regardless of race, and Kannet was well aware that he would need to play his cards right if he wished to achieve the most desirable outcome. First, he reached with his mind to the goblin's, employing his powerful illusion magic to cause the goblin to see a guard walk by the alleyway, and set this illusion to loop every few seconds. Any who is not foolish would not attack if they believed a troop of guards nearby. With this measure in place, he began to speak again.
"How horrible! To think such a crime could occur in such a place as this. Are you harmed? No, don't answer that, you probably are, whether you know it or not. Come with me, let us report this crime to the captain of the guard, they will be more than capable of addressing that issue and directing you to a healer."
He was not sure that he believed Zax's version of the story, but there was no sense in doubting until he had evidence to the matter.
