Not at first, but then a new one shows up.

"Surviving alone is hard task and more so without shelter! All I did the first night in the island was think about that tent that I left behind in my chest. And then there is food! Water! And warmth!"

Goals:

  • Set up the tent. 0/1
  • Collect provisions and store them in your tent. Ten food items should be enough. 0/10
  • Collect freshwater in a container and store it in your tent. 0/1
  • Ignite a fire near your tent that last for most of a night. 0 hours /6 hours

Hint: the fire doesn't need to stay on continuously, but it only counts from dusk to dawn.

He goes to the chest and grabs out the tent.

Hopefully he'll dry off setting it up. Fortunate that it's rather warm.

Sadly, the tent sets itself up. When he picks it up it starts unfolding itself. At first it falls on its side, but it wiggles itself upright and then he has a tent.

Once it's done, there is not even a single crease in the fabric. The tent is large enough that at least four people could sleep inside, comfortably.

The interior contains a bed, a stool and a table. All foldable and made of wood, but there is absolutely no way they could've fit inside the folded tent and the folded tent should've been way heavier.

"Wonderful."

He goes and fetches a few pieces of fruit and puts them into the tent. After two runs, he has ten items.

The page in the book changes accordingly.

Can he pull the message out of the bottle from the chest and use the bottle as a container…?

Permalink

Of course he can! What bizarre video gamey logic would prevent him from doing that?

Permalink

Not this one, apparently!

Is there freshwater around?

Permalink

It takes a while, but he comes across a stream soon enough.

Permalink

And he fills the container with water and then returns to place it in the tent.

… He doesn't suppose there's any clear firestarter material, is there?

Permalink

Nothing. In theory most of the tent looks flammable.

Permalink

He doesn't think he's going to try to set fire to the tent but he's not sure he has the ability to start a fire.

However, seeing as how he is in a video game he will try rubbing two sticks together away from the tent.

Are there any convenient sticks around?

Permalink

There are sticks around. Their convenience is a subjective trait, but he can certainly rub a couple of them together.

There is no immediate fire.

Permalink

What if he rubs one in the sand.

Permalink

It gets properly sand-covered.

Permalink

How dry are the sticks?

Permalink

Not very? They are typically dry for sticks in a tropical island.

Permalink

He puts them down on the sand in direct sunlight and sighs.

 

I don't suppose you know how to start a fire? he asks Evan.

Permalink

First of all, why are you asking me?

Second of all, please hold while I google.

Permalink

I'm asking you because I don't want to scare someone else with telepathy.

Permalink

… And because my mom is scary and it's easier to get you to google it than to ask her?

Permalink

That's better.

Anthony rolls his eyes.

So anyway, apparently you should gather together some tinder and then have some dry larger firewood available, making a nest of tinder and then – god this is complicated. I don't suppose you have a knife on you?
