Uh, plenty of the girls are old enough to drive. A car would greatly boost their ability to haul loot and injured.

@7734 am i reading the sheet right that we have open space for 2 more lodgers by floor layout and 1 more by summary on the sheet (there are two rooms with v that are empty on the first floor, but the sheet says 1 open).

So, food for thought: do we even want to give them peace? Isn't the very reason for MGs existing to combat witches? If we needed a cease fire, then maybe we could negotiate, but we don't, and we probably don't want to do it anyway, because they can be lying, if they aren't, they're going to terrorize another place nearby. I think we must think better on this.
I didn't consider this aspect before but, if they reall use it together, what does it means for the wand's resistence? Will it keep the same, or will it be consumed twice by week? It's something interesting to keep in mind.

So, I don't think I'll be sad b any vote winning, this is a really though choice, but we will also be selling the tier3 next week, we can give the cat for the car, or see if our dynamic duo can get some more resources for it.
Edit: I'd actually prefer to give the T2 to Calypso, but it seems we really can't, right now. When she clears her debt, we probably should take a week for a wand for her.
Something interesting to note is that Gold is apparently worth a lot less here than IRL. 24K gold is worth ~$52,000 per kilogram, which would mean the 20 kilos offered should be worth over a million dollars. Given the $500/mundane value we've been given before, that would be over 20,000 mundane resources. Obviously nonsensical, and that makes sense if there are various magical methods of gold creation.
Oh, sorry about that. It was how you switched back and forth several times in a single paragraph was just overly obvious to me, though if you did some light editing I could see how it would happen.

Call me paranoid, but I think having what I presume is going to be two turns worth of actions that can maybe improve the building some - get a room up to liveable standards, or maybe improve the defenses a little - is valuable from an action economy perspective.
I can be talked into voting for Trompdoy/Eowyn, though 'cause I like the pair.
Elise is a freeloader, she gets nothing.

Well, Lappin is also kinda a freeloader? If we do accept her, after all. And probably the reason why the duo is always lacking in materials is because they are paying us weekly in materials for their stay...

A car and a whole container of military goods is too good to pass up. We should make a Trinket or Wand specifically for the girls who need it next week, though. After we improve our workshop so it spits out better stuff.
As to the witches, I think we should consult the MGs, but I'm inclined to maybe let them evac in peace, if the girls ok it. They're all a little ragged right now, and if the Witches want to take an easy way out, they might accept that.

Per the bit in the post, it looks more like her two weeks service will be Quality of Life improvement for our main character than extra weekly actions. But hard to say, it might free us up to get something else done.

Fixed.
It will degrade at standard rates.
My 'value of gold' site turned some janktastic numbers because it gave me the price in ounces and unit in kilos. This will get fixed.

If they said a week I'd agree with you but five weeks... this has Tet '68 written all over it.

This is gonna seem like a very strange nitpick but you've misquoted the lyrics here. It should be reveille, not réverèe. The English translation correctly written would be "The heat distracts me, but the grinding of the boat awakens me" except you've written "the grinding of the boat makes me dream".

Yeah, that one's on my crappy transcription since I wasn't using the original version as I remembered there were difference in my preferred over the game release editions. Pour me défendre, non parler françois particuliérement bien.
Also if anyone's curious, MGR has a ton of musical content that hit the cutting room floor that's still really damn good. I seriously recommend people go look into it.

Actually that line is consistent across both versions, MGRs music is something of a pet passion of mine since it does a fantastic job of outlining the characters and their backstories and struggles.
But your French (or in this case, lack thereof) is noted.

So putting Witchy and Holy stuff is hard.
Damn, wish we could make stuff like that.
HAH!
Well, her appearance made an impact.
Well, it is not an Impala.
Of course she is.
Whoa, that's nasty.
If she's telling the truth that's an effective but extremely horrific way to ensure loyalty.
...Wut?
We have two open rooms atm, though we need to upgrade canteen soon.

All of the options are good.
Aside from the humane aspect that Mistletoe is the only one without either gear or experience, I think having the option to do research is what makes her win out. Sure, it is nothing really big like Tyrfang was, but it should do for later.
That aside, on-board with upgrading the Workshop.
Something else of note, I brought up the issue of economy before and was argued down. Here we see it, at least in parts.
Constantly making high-grade stuff means most of MCs tenants can not really afford it, or get outbidden by travelers and people who otherwise just come in once in a while. Calypso can not even make an offer because she indepted herself for the first item.
So there we have a reason not to build high-tier gear all the time. Once we have a few more skill levels or workshop levels, the argument of higher durability is no longer an issue either; even T1 stuff will last a while then.

Believe it or not, this is actually Working As Intended. Since I didn't have a good story reason to keep you from hoarding up arms and becoming King of South Fucksylvania, I had to make a mechanical dispersion system to move wealth around. The girls' limited wealth is a constrictive factor, and the unknown survival rates of the girls outside your domain is a serious concern due to the investment that good equipment is for them narratively and for you as an item of narrative weight, since your action economy is constricted by the quest design.
Y'all can game the system a touch with the right building upgrade paths, but the big ones are all locked behind some ambitious benchmarks. The quickest one to get would be Jocelyn's final evolution, but that's presuming a lot of things go right and would still only kick in fully at Week 21 (averaged)
By the way, I guess we know what that Tier 5 Trinket would have been (not necessarily whose soul, though). Wonder what happened to it.

Probably still with Trompdoy and Eowyn, unless they managed to sell the gem to someone.
