Summon a talking wooden leg for my missing leg, and summon a cat-sized bicycle with a comically large front wheel.

Be warned that this course of action may result in you no longer wearing pants.
That'll just turn my metaphorical Freudian attitude literal.

And besides, my tracksuit has become like the costumes of most anime characters, it repairs itself when no one's looking.

Remind me to make specific actions to pay attention to your jumpsuit, and its battle damage.

Sorry about general lack of posts. I hurt my back on Wednesday and have been trying to stay out of this office chair and laying down as much as I can. Worryingly they gave me a referral to an X-ray tech with a big "PATIENT HAS LOW B CELL NUM" on it. Of course they don't give me the range nor when this bloodcount was even taken.  Oh well.

Use this relative clarity to move out of The Danger Zone and hopefully toward where Hyenakles is or some other part of the region that isn't quite completely silent.
[2]
You circle, looking for Hyenakles and a way out, but its like you're flying just above a flickering gray globe; no matter where you go or in what direction, you see the same thing when you look down.

...
Gonna just say you make it to the edge of the hell, at the border between the one you're in and the one you were headed to.

Summon a talking wooden leg for my missing leg, and summon a cat-sized bicycle with a comically large front wheel.
[3]
Well...you find a bit of wood that might work for a leg. Doesn't talk though.

We'll worry about the carrion later. Put some more distance between myself and the epicenter of the silence.
You reach the edge of this hell.

"Is this part of the process?  Surrounding yourself in fire before summoning more fire?"

Make semi-snarky comments at the fire mage.
Wizardly teeth are grit!

"Yes acTUALLY"

Fire on my pants goes to fire on the sand!
...
Apply the fire on my pants to what I was trying to do last turn, to give a non-silly action plan.

We'll worry about the carrion later. Put some more distance between myself and the epicenter of the silence.
...

Xan rips his pants off like an excitable male stripper and hurls them onto the ground. The fire engulfing them spreads rapidly to the sand and scorches a large section of it.

Well, better stop circling then. Go toward the edge for, say, an hour and then circle from there, making sure to avoid the middle of it all. Either catch up with Hyenakles or wind up on the other side of the hell from where I began, whichever comes first. Cross the fuck out of here either way.

"Now the engine spirit repairs the warbeast with the ground I just torched and we move on from there."

Hear that, engine spirit?

You make your way out and connect back up with Hyenakles

You succeed only on desummoning one of your existing legs.
In a rather messy fashion.

My bear skin shirt might be obscuring their view of my bones

Cross into Cemiac Empire.
The skies in the empire are heavily overcast with black clouds, and the only light that makes it through is a sort of sickly green; the color radiation has in cartoons. The ground here looks volcanic in nature, like a flow of magma that cooled, all smooth ripples of pummice and obsidian. Few plants grow here, just scattered patches of grass and thin trees poking up at random in the rock. There are low hills, but for the most part this place is an open plain, and in the distance you can see the shapes of what look like enormous ziggarauts and tall black towers, all lit via that same unhealthy looking green glow.

"Now the engine spirit repairs the warbeast with the ground I just torched and we move on from there."

Hear that, engine spirit?

((Oh dear, someone's been stealing your blood for nefarious purposes. Normally I'd fess up around now but it wasn't me this time.))
The warbeast eats some of the scorched idol sand. it doesn't seem to have any immediate detrimental effects, but it also heals only a tiny amount of the beasts damage.

"Gonna need a lot more material than that" the engine spirit says, looking at the already almost used up reserve of burnt sand."

((Eep!  Hope it's nothing too serious!  Get well soon!))
Don't worry about it Mr.Fish.  Baring Multiple Myeloma I think I'm good.

Observe excitedly how awesome our mount will grow to be.
Currently pretty weaksauce. Maybe if it ate a lot more and you believed in it a lot....

I should point out that I can't tell what color the sky is with my current senses. Or see things in the distance, probably.
Head towards where I think civilization would be, anyway.
