"Engine spirit! Is the warbeast still able to walk in your judgement?"

Ask engine spirit if warbeast can still walk. If it can, do A. If it can't but could be repaired, do B. If it's fucked beyond repair, do C.

A: Make the fire engulfing the warbeast into a (temporary) fire shield surrounding it, and get the engine spirit to walk it out of the heaven with us.

B: Use the fire to temporarily repair the warbeast, perhaps by making it substitute for whatever is stopping it from moving, or some other bullshit method. Then get the engine spirit to walk it out of the heaven with us.

C: Sacrifice the warbeast and use the power that gives me in conjunction with the faith those observing have in my powers to give myself and everyone with me (Ryan, Dave, cultists) wings of fire to fly away on. Make mine permanent if I can.

If the warbeast is really beyond repair, imagine what you could do by sacrificing it.

"Alright, I suppose you have a point there."

On second thought, heed Mr. Bird's advice and skirt around the hell in an arc.

"Perhaps we shouldn't be going into the bowl of death and silence, has this occurred to you, dear Hyenakles?"

See if there is a possibility of skirting the edge of this weird hell.

Pretty much this, right now, from Sebastian's viewpoint:

You basically just cling to the arm and watch what happens next.

By floating though whatever fogwall gets me there, duh. Where is that damn map?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It's adjacent to this hell. Just go straight there, crossing over the mount city where there aren't a bunch of hands sticking out.
That requires traversing almost the entirety of these mountains but I suppose thats ok.

You float off, skirting around the nearest mountain-tower and heading north, away from all this stupid shit. The Mountain-towers continue on in an unbroken line straight to the horizon. It's gonna be a bit of a walk...well, a float.

The warbeast is too damaged to walk, but is still functional enough to roll and crawl. You stick the engine spirit back onto it and order him to get the warbeast back into the idol henge hell. You then turn tail and run to that hell yourself. You make it through and stand there, weezing and catching your breath, waiting nervously for the warbeast to show up. After a long and frightening pause it half falls, half rolls in, nearly crushing you. The hands don't follow.

"I was thinking just the same."

Is the warbeast still on fire, or has it been snuffed out by now? If it's on fire, try to use the fire to repair it enough to walk. If not... ask the Engine Spirit what it'd take to repair the thing.

So. What do you do around here, big fella? Fancy a walkabout round the Hells?

Say the above to my new mount. If it remains uncommunicative, say the following:

Well, show's over. I'll take my fee now. Then, if you could drop me by the fog wall, I'll be on my way. It was a pleasure performing here for you and your fine friends.

Attempt to convince the Subterranean Titan to yield up some goodies in line with his own status and unique talents (the ability to travel through the ground, great size and physical prowess? Extra limbs?)

Failing that, since I appear to be the only one remaining in this hell, I'll head back into Idol Henge and stock up on sand and pebbles. (I know I still have a pocket full of them. I just want to be loaded up. But not weighed down.

((Perhaps someone should grab a whole idol boulder, in case you want a somewhat less controlled magic explosion than the shell will get you.
Also, what are the prerequisites for Xan to fire-sacrifice a living creature? Does it have to be willing, or just unable to resist? What exactly counts as "resisting" in that case? Because a idol-boulder-summon-fire-sacrifice would be rather spectacular.))
