He runs back towards it, looking for a stick under some sort of canopy that might be dry (hopefully).

It's hard at first but he eventually manages to find one close to the campsite.

He grabs it and hopes it doesn't get too wet before he gets back to the fire – he put logs up over it, it should stay for a bit –

The bats swoop down at him, gosh, really creative enemies these bats.

The weird-fire-things... aren't coming closer. They are giving a wide birth from the campsite.

Good fire things.

He tries to multitask, still swiping at the bats while he gets the stick lit.

The stick gets lit pretty quickly!

...actually, that might be a bit too quickly. It won't last long that way.

Fucksake.

Does it at least drive the creatures away?

Yup! Even the fire-things appear scared of it.

Convenient.

He moves back towards the trees, hoping he can find another stick or two before this one goes out…

He can find another stick before that one goes out! He also can find this bat going straight to his head.

He tries to duck out of the way while knocking it with some wind.

That one wing brushes against Anthony's shoulder, but without hurting.

Could his luck be turning? (He hopes but doubts so.)

Stick, catch light please? More sticks, any to be found?

Well, if he is willing to take his time and fight more bats! Sure, here is another one!

The second stick is half the way burned when he gets back to he camp.

And gosh, isn't this entire fighting bats thing tiresome?

Yes, it is tiresome, can they just stop already?

He lights the third stick.

Well, the bats aren't showing any signs of slowing down.

… How's the tent doing?

The is doing well, thanks for asking. The bats have mostly ignored it.

How sturdy does it look? Not conveniently now made out of metal, he supposes?

It looks like a tent made of thick cloth the type he would expect seeing in a movie with explorers before the invention of plastic.

And the treasure chest? … He doesn't suppose it looked big enough to hide in, did it? It's magic, it could save him, he doesn't know –

It looks too cramped even if he removes everything. Also: Bat swoop.

Freaking giant bat.

He swipes it away and then gets into the tent.

Now he is in a tent!

Every so often he can feel a bat tackle the side of the tent, but this only causes the relevant surface to bulge a little.

But the tent doesn't feel at danger of being destroyed and tipped over and something horrifying?
