"That's a high other expenditure in october. Think it has anything to do with the strange materials research?"

Conrad took out the document he totally brought with him.

The lab report:
My findings on crystallized posts are rather shocking. It is a very potent substance. Used properly, it can form entire communities and revive dying towns within less than a day. However, used improperly, it can drain a community of its life to the benefit of the few with the powerful influence that this gem has on nearby people.
"What do you know about crystalized posts?" he asked, showing the document to the worker.

John's group:
As Carl equips a bandanna, he picks up the book on the history of Forumtopia.

Carl: According to this book, Forumtopia was built overnight using a mineral called crystallized posts. But that can't be true. The crystal can't be made synthetically and there isn't enough of it in the world to build an entire country.

Worker: Uh... I'm pretty sure that's above my security clearance. You'd need to talk to one of the Spambots about that. Or maybe the Scambots might know something. I'm not sure.

Ar'tler reads the book.
Quote from: SomeoneForumtopia has a few different sources of income, but one main source of income is rare exports. In 2012, an enormous deposit of (a rectangle of paper was cut from the book here.) was discovered in what would become Forumtopia. Moreover, the deposit regenerated quickly since the area had the perfect geography for the formation of (a rectangle of paper was cut from the book here.). Forumtopia was rapidly built to harvest the material, and now Forumtopia provides 98% of the world's exports of (a rectangle of paper was cut from the book here.).

Carl: Strange. Someone cut a hole in the book. Anyways, should we head down now?

Jack finds the following:
1x Candy Cane: Restore 15 health to the party. Use another item.
1x Anti-spam: Deal 60 damage to all enemies.
5x Crystallized post: Clears negative statuses from the party.

Nozomi: Scambots?
Worker: Our investigation unit. They know stuff that we don't get access to. Their outpost is in the Ban the Person Above You tundra.
Nozomi: Ah. Anyways, we should probably head up now.

Carl: I think we are ready. Let's go.

Carl uses the access card and opens the stairs. The group heads down a floor. Upon reaching the first floor, they notice the other group, plus some new members walking out of an elevator.

The groups have been rejoined. The post will continue below.

Quote from: \//"Ok let's go," said Mr. Conrad.
Jack unlocks the elevator with the key. The group walks inside and heads up a floor. On the first floor, the first thing the group notices is the other half of the group walking down a flight of stairs.

The groups have been rejoined. The post will continue below.
Joined group:
After the groups rejoined, the looked around. They seem to be in a small hallway. There is a table with a vase of flowers on it nearby. Above the table is a poster reading "X-ray is cool!" with a picture of a man wearing goggles on it. On the opposite wall, another poster reads "INTERNAL MEMO: Remember to heal yourselves with fruit before entering a major battle." On one end of the hallway is a shelf with a few trophies and medals on it. At the other end is a doorway reading "Receptionist". Above the door is a plaque reading "This building is under the management of Ms. Phish."

The trophies are surprisingly heavy.

Obtained:
1x Very Heavy Trophy (WEAPON): Deals 1d50 damage. Cannot be equipped unless fitness is above 14. Cannot be used if fitness is lowered below 15 by statuses.
1x Heavy trophy (WEAPON): Deals 1d50 damage next turn.

Healed.
Quote from: CrazeePiJunka has no idea who this John fellow is or why he's here but gladly punches him.
Junka: Punch: 1d10=2+11(fitness)-2(eyeglasses)=11
John: Block: 1d10=8+6(willpower)=14
11<14
John instinctively completely blocks the punch. (And anyways, Desperate measures works in increments of 20% health, so being below 50% won't do anything.)

Beneath the first poster, Jack finds some graffiti of a pair of X-ray goggles. Beneath the second one, he finds a sheet of notebook paper with "remember, it takes two turns to swap accessories in  battle, so equip your favorite accessory before fighting!" hastily scrawled on it.

James looks at his walkthrough to try and figure out who these random people are and what he's supposed to do with them.

James's Deluxe Robot introduces itself to Mr. Conrad, stating that since it can use any attack then that must mean it in itself is the strongest attack.

"Ugh, fine," Junka says, before spraying over the graffiti with her own graffiti. Junka then takes a top hat because she can and puts it on along with the felt hat.

The following passage from the walkthrough seems relevant: "The two halves of the group will rejoin on Floor 1. They should then prepare for the ensuing boss battle, which will happen some time after walking through the door and chatting with Ms. Phish about (the next part was highlighted, but the highlighter made the text bleed so it's illegible). The X-ray goggles  are a good option to put on someone who can heal here."

Ms. Phish: Oh, it's you guys. I actually don't have any issues with you. I was just about to leave actually. I think there is another god out in the pool behind the building. You can go take  him. I'm done.

Before the group can react, another voice responds from the stairwell.
