Well, that could be either a really badly drawn O or a 2... So both of those are feasible.
The question is what do we do with the text even if we know what it says. It's not as though these sslugs are writing down the password to their code so we can reprogram them. Just saying "A Will to Overcome Temptation" loudly at Osis isn't gonna help us much, even if it earns us credit with the tawny little sneak.
Plus we have not done much with the other sslugs! They are still wrecking the place! And each is probably a Test in its own right - though I sure as Hel hope this riddle will be helpful for all three of them.
How does one best emphasize one's will? Simply by marching forward and Overcoming Temptation? I've already tried stabbing the bloody thing... And "stab it lots of times" is a rather disappointing answer to a riddle...
