Art of the Octangle (2)

Moving widdershins from our previous place and towards the Tower of Art, one reaches the corner of the octangle that is consecrated to the Silver Star / Brown wizards:

Here in the southwest corner of Unseen University's main octangle, the Tower of Art stretches over eight hundred feet into the air.  The Tower is older than both the Unseen University and the city built around it, and looks it - gnarled like an ancient yew, completely windowless, and occasionally dangerously decrepit.  A door to the south leads inside the tower, whilst cobbled paths lead north through the lawns to the Great Hall and eastwards around the Octangle.  To the northeast, the University clock tower looms over everything the Tower may have somehow managed to miss, and a statue stands beneath one of the spreading chestnut trees.

The bench we find nearby is dark brown, and trying to sit on it if you do not belong to the appropriate order /color has the following effect:

You sit on a dark brown oak bench.

> The bench suddenly changes its shape to become a steep slope, sending you sliding down onto the grass.

You stand up.

The bench changes back into its normal bench-like shape.

Only one state looms close, representing the generic Silver Star mage:

Unlike the other statues around the octangle, this one has been carved from oak.  It shows a massively fat wizard wearing a carpenter's apron over the robes of a member of the Ancient and Truly Original Brothers of the Silver Star.  Well, most of a wizard.  The carved wand in his oak hands is undergoing a rapid thaumic disassembly, and therefore so is his wooden head.
