Jehann the Wanderer part 12.3

In response to the cries of distress a reclusive creature stirs, but hesitates waiting to see if any other being will help.  After an agonizing delay it finally becomes apparent that other assistance may take a while. Kestrel self-consciously shifts from his rather unimpressive draconic form into that of a small red fox and timidly approaches.

"Excuse me, I know we've never met but you need help?  Oh I see your friend does.  This may help then."  He sits up and raises a fore claw to reveal a tiny gold embroidered pouch about his neck.   He then dips his head causing the pouch to fall on the ground where it immediately expands to many times his size.  After darting inside a moment Kestrel returns carrying a sphere of amethyst the size of a tennis ball in his mouth.   This he lays on the ground.  "Um, this is a healing device of sorts.  Hold it near his wounds and it will prevent them from worsening.  It should strengthen him a little too.  It can't cure him completely but it should buy you some time."

At that Kestrel dips his head as if to bow, but instead grabs he the pouch in his mouth, pivots and leaps, vanishing before he again touches the ground.  Only the crystal sphere remains behind.
