What's in a name, really? Apparently nothing, because after years of research, years of travel, years of failure, and years of versing yourselves in useless knowledge of math, science, video games, nerdiness, and awesomesauce, you've discovered exactly what you haven't been looking for.

The Tower of Test Ease.

You think that the Prophets of Awesome have rather fucked up on the name of this particular tower. Test Ease. Really? The slogan for the tower might as well be "apply directly to the forehead".

Anyway, your original quest was for the Tower of Awesome, but your budget's running out and the university or religious cult that's funding your search is running out of patience. It's really hard to tell the difference between those two these days.

The Tower of Awesome was said to have boundless treasure within, but it's never been found. The Tower of Test Ease was said to have no treasure within, but no-one who has entered has ever come back. You're going to die soon anyway. Might as well enter one of these stupid dumbshit towers, since it's been your life's work.

Speaking of stupid dumbshit towers, some stupid dumbshit energy gate is blocking your way. What do you do?

[Pillow_Killer]

Walk around energy gate.

[Doret]

Pull the lever John. Pull it and enter the tower.

[KaguroDraven]

Throw a child into the energy gate, then walk around it.

[Tylui]

Pull the lever John.

"John, pull that lever there on that gateknob."

Your faithful assistant John pulls the lever. The energy stops swirling and also at the same time too stops stopping your progress towards progress towards ascension! Congratulations! That test was easy.

You approach the tower and see no door... But there are a few weird indentations.

[Armok]

Walk around energy gate.

Walk around energy gate.

Better yet, now that it's deactivated, why don't we just walk THROUGH the gate!?

Oh wait, I know why not. We already did. Huh. Nifty.

[Doret]

Push the wall as if it was a door John, I'll help you.

[Furtuka]

using the indentations as a guide draw a picture of a door with your magic chalk

[Tylui]

Push the wall as if it was a door John, I'll help you.

You and John push upon the wall! It opens! Holy crapoly that was hardly a challenge. Hopefully whatever is inside will be just as simple!

...Shiiiiit why would I open my mouth?



Oh wait, this actually looks pretty easy.

And look! A piece of Magic Chalk! HUZZAH!

[Ochita]

18 in roman numerals under S
17 under R
and 25 under Y

[Tylui]

Hmm... I am having a thought, but I'm having trouble envisioning it! If only this thought would present itself as a picture instead of as words!

[Ochita]

XVIII       XXV        XVII

[The Mad Engineer]

S is 19 and R is 18, I'm pretty sure.

XIX XXV and XVIII

[Tylui]

I think I have the proper pieces of the puzzle all lined up in my grey matter! But alas! I can't figure it out without some sort of graphical mental image!
