Oink misses his beautiful majesty, his wings and his magic so he didn't have to do all this frigging manual labour! How do wingless creatures even survive? No wonder he had such an easy time roasting and devouring them all. Well, right up until the last one.
Oink drags the wood and tarsalt to the edge of the rogues' camp. If they remain slumbering he will add wood (as below) to the fire to get it burning again. Once it has at least a moderate flame going, he will toss on the tarsalt clumps and scurry for the underbrush before the noxious smoke catches him.
Building a Fire, from Iituem's dodgy personal experience on the matter.
Some of this work may already have been done in the rogue's fire to start with.
Step One, try not to be so self-conscious,
Two, shift your weight onto your haunches,
Three, lift yourself into the air and
Four, just forget your parents are both dead!
1. Move three or four larger sticks into a tripod or pyramidal shape atop the firepit. Make sure they're balanced and feel free to wedge them into the dirt a bit if it will help keep them stable.
2. Using the smaller dry twigs and branches, create a rough bedding of firewood around the pyramid, placing twigs and branches on the supports of the 'tripod' and making sure that there is a central column free within the pile of firewood with free air passages at the base. It is vital to have the airways as air needs to be able to enter at the base of the fire, move up through the middle and then exit at the top.
2a. You can tear dry bark off to help with kindling.
3. Light your kindling. This can be the hard, frustrating part, but fortunately the embers of the fire should still be hot, even if it has been a few hours now. Brushing the remaining embers with a stick, expose some air to any still-glowing parts, or simply find the hottest part of the 'dark' embers. Touch your finest kindling to the hot embers, blow gently and you will eventually get a small flame. Touch this to the rest of the kindling, shield against the wind and keep trying until you get a sustained fire.
4. Once the kindling is on fire, continue adding small, then medium sticks and eventually logs, making sure to keep the tripod shape stable and not to block up the airways or collapse the structure. Oink will actually want to stop for time's sake as soon as a moderate fire is going - as that should be enough to burn the tarsalt.
Depending on skill, this could take anywhere from half an hour to two hours to accomplish. Step three is the bastard.
18, your snout serves you well, and you push one of the sticks from one of the piles. It seems to be stuck.
You shove it again and it flips over, rolling as a whole backwards. It starts turning around and it's rolling speeds up, until you are forced to Jump out of the way.
The Librarian, in his thirst for knowledge, journeyed to the Infinite Library to explore and become wiser/smarter. The Infinite Library is, well, an infinitely large library, with books that range from spell tomes, to skill books, to eldritch tomes that give maluses when read; even books that transport the reader to other worlds (a la Myst)! He is standing just inside the entrance.

If it agrees to help, go outside with it, and, if it is mindless, thwack it really hard with my extendable pole, utilizing the quarterstaff training that I received in wizard school.
