The mage walked away from the tower and asked to speak with one of the Solution Makers.
A man appeared looking quite typical. A cream and white robe with a hood and actually carrying scrolls and books.
The mage tells him there is someone he should meet.
As he makes his views and concerns known, there is a series of loud noises inside the tower. It causes the ground to vibrate.
"Ptoom! Ptoom! Krunk! Ptowm! Ptoom! Clunk!"
Dust blows of the top of the tall solid tower, and some birds take exception of being disturbed.
The mage and man walk into the tower as people start to gather around.
The Warrior Woman stands where the discs had been and is looking up and around with a smile.
The Solution Maker inspects the discs and asks "What stone did you start with?"
"I just gave the lowest discs a good kick into what I assumed was the intended slot."
The Solution Maker inquired how long I had been reading about this tower.
"I arrived here today. This is the first I have seen of it."
The Solution Maker dips his head to floor, then looks up "If I told you to reset the discs the way they were, but you could only ever hold or touch a disc if the disc was also touching the tower. How would you do it?"
"Those spiral grooves in tower have a space for the disc to rotate from the bottom to a height. If you let go, it would drop into those round notches and maybe then tip onto those raised points of the buttress. Likely then to fall onto the center."
The Solution Maker smiles and grabs the mage by the arm and takes him outside "Is this true? Did that Warrior Woman solve the puzzle without preparation?"
The mage, with an expression to confirm, tells him that they should talk with council right away.
The Solution Maker goes off with the mage. Muttering "Tol VitTul. Tol VitTul. A living Tul, solving the tower puzzle instantly."
