Welcome to my quest, where no choice is a good one~
Well. I have to apologize, while I appreciate the offer, I already have two of them, and they check my grammar/spelling and the occasional number, but mostly to make sure I don't go too hard on the players. You'll have to see with Math if he thinks he can handle the job or wants to split, I guess?

Also, tally

The question is whether or not this would draw attention to Aife's werewolf bastard baby...
And/or if some people might get suspicious of a Healer being called in shortly after such major events affect the planet(though I suppose some parties might instead conclude the Healer was called to help with the Aife situation).
...meh, I suppose that'd mainly be an issue if it causes us to draw aggro before we've either fortified our location or acquired a new location in defensible terrain.
One that costs us 60% of our current treasury even.
But we'll probably have less employees to pay wages to anyway so we should hopefully be running a decent net profit.
Worst comes to worst, we go into debt to get some early econ up and running. Assuming the banks still offer loans...

I can agree to the 2 year health check, but not the heavy fortifications. To big to fast here and people will start suspecting we are hiding something. We are, but we don't want them to know that.

I'm only going for it because we are going to need self sufficiency.
The Entire American continent is gone and only the isles are safe. Europe is probably next. We need to plant entire fields for potion ingredients, we need stone lumber and wood in ample supply and we need to get them now while no one else is buying because if we dont we will be charged horrendously inflated prices that are coming now that everything not on the Isles in great quantities is about to go extinct.

Yes, but that also means to some extent separate us from the world.
By going full fortifications we are setting us up to be a city state, and I don't want to go there before we have more information.

A reasonable stance to take, I'm just worried that by the time we get more information we will have lost the initiative and wont get all the various things we need to "weather the storm" as it were.
After all, the rest of the world is screwed. We cant save them and once their gone that 90% of the magical pie lost to us forever.
What if the cure for heartbreak syndrome requires a plant commonly found in France?
Not a problem if France is there to import from but in this situation where I think they only have 3 turns if that....very bad.

In response to learning that Australian wildlife isn't doing to well
***
The Great Emu King.
As darkness came, the world changed. Beasts and monsters, man and wizards, forced back as darkness swept across the land. Not everyone was losing. Someone still fought. The great Emu king being one.
A dark flightless bird with a pattern of golden feathers forming a crown on its head. Far taller than your average emu. The great emu, currently busy squashing shadows of men and beasts as the appeared before him.
A man footsteps could be heard behind.
"Hi, my sweeties. Did you miss me"
A poacher from the past. Someone he had torn apart once. He had hunted down his subject and paid the price as he ripped his legs off and left him be eaten by beasts. He had survived. His feet now made of something far more sinister. Shadows.
The man lunged forwards, with far more speed than expected. The Emu king swept his feet grabbing the incoming blow, before throwing him into a boulder. Not that fast. He watched the man warily.
"I will skin you all and wear you like clothes. I will be the most famous man alive. "The man cackled as he slowly rose up.
That should have killed him. No matter. The Emu dashed towards him, grabbed him, and threw him far away.
"I will be back" he cackled as he flew into a pound full of crocodiles. The king ignored it. Shadows, beast and other threats had returned.
His people needed him, more than ever.

The other option being voted for might also mean setting up to be a city state, just more slowly so it draws less attention and potentially with an eye towards scoping out more suitable locations first.
Doomsday prepping versus more casual inquiry.
Continue as Usual is the option for not going anywhere near there until we have more information. And that could lead to not having any infrastructure whatsoever when we do get an Anchor, being vulnerable to ganks(especially since we're not sure if this Dace would investigate the village that disappeared or if it would aggro anything) and not being prepared if Dace, Potioneer extraordinaire with a large number of Muggleborns on staff, would be affected by the damage to the Muggle economy and loss of foreign potions ingredients more than the average British Wizarding household.
That... could actually be a problem with regards to delaying the Heartbreak Syndrome checkup. But that'd be for the specific issue of Heartbreak Syndrome and it might "merely" add to the DC if we're lucky, as Dace will have to find an alternative solution(or add to the price as the supply of those ingredients shrinks).

Should we?
Or should we keep her at Dace's Manor for observation?
Come to think of it, wouldn't disinheriting her be like the first timeline's "leave this place and never come back" style falling out more than a temporary way of showing his displeasure?

Yeah, just go through with ejecting her and be done with it

I mean she still placed poison into our drink. Her eyes flashed a different color than the one she usually has, so she was compelled to save us. The most likely candidate to do this is her Goddess Freya.

Yes but it's not like there's an option to let her get away scot-free and Dace just lost his wife.
Of the three options, disinheriting her seems most likely to make her continue to be a problem that'll bite us in the back. Or at least an independent agent that starts out with a negative opinion of Dace and enough charisma to get away with murder.
"dealing" with her removes that threat, house arrest means Dace gets to work out what motivated her, who possessed her from an In-Character perspective and potentially salvage his relation with his very charismatic daughter who may or may not have strong ties with the Order of the Phoenix. Both of which are useful when Elizabeth is dead and Britain seems like it's about to be plunged into war again relatively soonish.
