cipher - Portraits and quotes - Clue Twenty Four


<<---First clue
<--Previous clue




A note from @Mithrandir: I have given explicit permission for @Randal'Thor to post this, and gave him the answer to encode. If you want to post one, ping @Mithrandir in chat and we'll talk.




[redacted], you say, and instantly a panel slides aside in the wall in front of you to reveal a new puzzle.


Feeling buzzed after your quick solution of the last clue, but also worried that the next one will be devilishly hard, you approach the wall and stare at it in bewilderment. All you see are four images:


one two three four



Warning:



keep your mind out of the gutter.
