The other toilets work, so at least the towel didn't go TOO far.

You didn't say whether or not the toilet was clogged--is it? If not, I
wouldn't sweat it; the towel will eventually clear your drain.

If it is clogged, you're not going to get the towel out, but probably
push it through with a snake.

Yes, it is clogged. Hmm, if I manage to push it through, is it
possible that it could get stuck again further in the system (like
maybe if there are narrower pipes)?
