250 Floor Tower
A poem and a number sequenceThe Generic Number Sequence Puzzle
$begingroup$
There's a tower in a far off land, one that you can only climb by unlocking the secret password to all the floors. Each floor has an inscription on the walls, indicating a number. As you approach a bird screeches at you:
I sit upon this enigmatic wall.
At the top is the first floor of them all.
To reach me you'll need primal instinct.
Each floor requires a number that is distinct.
The bird then turns to stone, and becomes part of the building once again:

Your quest is to climb the tower and slay the bird. He's told you the number you need for the 250th floor, but you'll have to figure out the rest. There may be more to what he said, there's most likely a pattern because he mentioned how each number should be distinct!

Your quest is to climb the tower and slay the bird. He's told you the number you need for the 250th floor, but you'll have to figure out the rest. There may be more to what he said, there's most likely a pattern because he mentioned how each number should be distinct! Figure out the pattern and you can slay that pesky bird that crapped on the kings carriage.

Notice that
Each symbol in the tower is either . _ or -, what can hint us that base three counting is included. If we know that the top florr is 1, than we can replace . with 0, _ with 1 and - with 2. This indeed yield correct base 3 numbers, which I converted back to base 10.
With this method, you can climb the tower:

Notice that
Each symbol in the tower is either . _ or -, what can hint us that base three counting is included. If we know that the top florr is 1, than we can replace . with 0, _ with 1 and - with 2. This indeed yield correct base 3 numbers, which I converted back to base 10.
With this method, you can climb the tower:
