Okay /tg/ serious business. If you and your friends have to remove an evil Ebola-cult cell in your neighborhood. What would your party look like?

Me: Fighter/loreseeker (been in army and have MA in history)
Friend1: Mechanic
Friend2: Fat guy which makes funny comments
Friend3: Biologist (BA going for MA)

>mfw only fighter in the group
but on the other hand they are just cultists so all in all good chances

>Me : Dex Fighter/Gunslinger
>Friend 1 : Str Fighter/Gunslinger
>Friend 2 : Dex Fighter
>Friend 3 : Dex Fighter/Comic Relief

We'd probably slaughter them. Martial funtimes HO!!!
>>
>>35278514
You would clearly kill them without problems. But what about their traps? Some of them maybe Ebola infected

Or does the reality generally not need a well rounded party?
>>
>>35278104
>they are just cultists so all in all good chances
Ebola-chan's cultists generally carry a sacrificial dagger on them at all times. If there's four cultists and only one fighter in your party, you could very well end up lying dead on their blasphemous altar.
>>
>>35278619
The fat guy can swing an treetrunk (no really he can). So giving him a bat or something like that = two fighters.
But you are right with this party composition a direct assault would be BS.
New Plan:
>Sneaking into the cultists base
>Looking their door
>wait three days until they are weak enough
>kill them
>>
>>35278656
>having a mechanic in the party
>not building a Mad Max tier post-apocalyptic battle truck and ramming it through the side of the cult's temple
It's like you want Ebola to win.

Me : rogue (smallest and lightest on my feet, can normally walk and jog without making much sound, good at takin' shit and getting away)
Friend 1 : barbarian (big, strong, no formal training in fights but good at street brawls and knows how to use a knife, has a solid steel rod about twice as thick as rebar to whack intruders with.)
Friend 2 : ranger (hunts with semi-automatic rifles and his hand-made crossbow, as well as uses Friend 3's dogs)
Friend 3 : druid/animal-friend (sister of friend 2, she trains their hunting dogs and they adore her, and have know friend from foe but also follow "attack" and "stop commands no matter what. It's truly frightening.)

I think we would do pretty well. Assuming the cultists aren't infected with ebola and were simply trying to spread it.
I'm guessing it wouldn't be hard to find the Ebola cultists base.

Alternatively
Me : level0 eavesdrop
Friend 1 : level 1 boxer/wrestler
Friend 2 : level 1 rifle user
Friend 3 : Got big ass dogs that hunt and kill boars, deer, and other things larger and deadlier than you when told to and don't stop until they either do or are told to.

>friend 1: Knows karate, bars no holds.

>brother: Huge as fuck, can bullrush a small crowd.

I think we might win!
Then die from disease
>>
Me- Int/wis high (because everything else is horrifyingly low, except maybe dex to a limited extent), engineer/tactical (we're doomed)
Friend 1- Charisma barbarian
Friend 2- Other barbarian, with dogs
Friends 3-5- more rear echelon stuff.

We're doomed.
>>
>>35278559
In reality, multi-classing isn't a zero sum game.

This is also true of my party

Me : Mechanical Engineer
Friend 1 : Mechanical Engineer
Friend 2 : Materials Science
Friend 3 : Electrical Engineer

There is no trap they could create that we couldn't disassemble if we found it.
>>
>>35278777
This! I mean shit. You have can fight ind shotouts and close combats.
If the dogs are nearly as trained as you described them they could be use to pin one cultist to interrogate him later.
>>
>>35278879
So how would you with your pals go after those cultists? Lets say their base is in a basement of a lonely house.

Me: Lawyer/professional wrestler in-training.
Friend 1: Workout-crazy history teacher
Friend 2: Fat service technician who now runs his own confectionary factory
Friend 3: Autistic plasterer with retard strength
Friend 4: Salesman who will fuck anything with tits

I guess we would be insanely STR focused.
>>
>>35278916
Put Friend 3 on overwatch outside to take down fleeing cultists, Me, Friend 1 and Friend 2 would gear up with shotguns and sabres.

Breach and Clear motherfuckers. I'd take point because I'm a sociopath and could totally start the bloodshed. We'd probably go to a hardware store to get some blood proofing.

There are so many ways to fail here
>>
>>35278104
But half of my group already worships Ebola-chan, and the other two guys are a paranoid stoner libertarian and a classic southern racist.

Why would we be trying to remove the cult?
>>
>>35279130
So many reasons:
-They are Deathbringer-cultists while your friends are Plaguebearer-cultists
-Exp
-Loot
-When you kill those cultists the public will never think that you also are cultists (+4 on all bluff-checks!)
>>
>>35279120
>barbarian/thief
Camalpunch when?
>>
>>35279130
Maybe they're preaching a heretic version of Ebolism. The fact that they're wearing protective suits when approaching the altar would seem to suggest they don't want to feel Ebola-chan's love.

I never said that I have I high str score. I just rage alot when I'm not sneaking around.

Friend 1
>Big guy, was fat now fit, works out and eats healthy
Friend 2
>Fellow computer science student, also gangly, can write screenplays
Friend 3
>Knows a lot about metal gear, can probably steal some sneaking moves

We'd probably do as well as any CoC character, especially being britabongs with no guns. Friend 1 is our bruiser, the rest of us stab cultists with kitchen knives.
>>
>>35279258
so, any video game stealth character

Whats the thing with britbongs don't owning guns?

I mean even here in Germany it is more or less easy to get a gunners liscence and own guns.
No offense, just wondering
>>
>>35279330
I laughed because it happened. Just with a knife instead of a gun.
>>
>>35279340
Well, farmers have guns, so maybe I could get my Grandad's if I was back home. But as a middle-class student, I don't have any need for one or desire for one. Heck, I don't know a place I could buy one.
Of course, come the zombie apocalypse or CoC style cultist infestation, we'd be buggered. Better stock up on sports equipment.

Me: bard/barbarian. I've worked all sorts of jobs from radio dj to bouncer. Good with words but can throw someone if need be.

Friend 1: Commoner. another big dude. Thinks he's big and intimidating, but I've never known him to get in a fight. Except for when he got super drunk and tried to throw someone off a balcony.

Friend 2: Ranger. ex marine sniper.

Friend 3: Artificer. current marine aviation repairman as well as armoury supplier.

I think we are pretty good.
>>
1: Somewhat insane lvl 10 barbarian (he's a fucking combat beast)
2: lvl 0 socially retarded fencer/communist
3: lvl 0 Chubby guy/neet
me: lvl 1 sane person/taekwando (10 years)

Yeah...
Chubby is useless, Commie thinks he's the best at everything and will get himself killed, but our barbarian will rape shit (literally (don't ask)) so everything comes down to if I can convince my psychopath companions not to do something to stupid.

dude, his power (rape) level is over 9000, he raped Chubby. Well, he humped him into a sofa that flew into a bookshelf that crashed down on Commie. He then ran out and raided an ice-cream truck that I had to pay for

Friend 2: IT worker, would be a lanky build but he has become a bit of a /fit/ nut for the past two years so actually quite tough
Firend 3: Scientist and mathematician.
Friend 4: Research Psychologist. (Has a gun licence)

Pretty decent party I guess. This being Australia guns really aren't going to come into it even if two of us have licences.

I also have such a friend . We live in a remote mountainous area. He drives like crazy through those curves. But I never felt endangered. He is simply really good.
>>
I'd probably be the trap maker/demolitions guy due to my knowledge in those fields, as well as the comic relief because I'm a silly motherfucker
my buddy Austin would probably be a bardbarian due to his guitar playing and skill at wielding a literal axe.
my friend Shaun would be the unarmed fighter of the group
lastly my buddy Aaron really has no skills of any variety when it comes to fighting, or surviving, or really anything so he'd probably be a commoner... But we'd give him a shotgun and have him try to bit shut us in the back
anyway we'd probably just set up a big ol' bomb and blow those Ebola cultists to high heaven or whatever else they believe in.
>>
>>35281194
My friend works for the repairs department at a car rental company. You get really good at driving when you have to move cars across a city with faulty brakes, or broken engine parts, or wheels that suddenly fall off on the highway. Crazy motherfucker should be dead by now but they learned to stay cool when it happens and not panic.

EBOLA CHAN IS LIFE.

So, what do you get out of being a cultist anyway?

Does Ebola-chan keep you from dying of the disease, or give you a nice afterlife or something?
>>
>>35284002
>So, what do you get out of being a cultist anyway?
One free beer per month (they do not transfer, can be a coke but not pepsi).
10% off all purchases on Ikea on fridays.
And restaurant tickets for value of 10 euros. Stack of 30.
Also feeling you're part of something.
>Does Ebola-chan keep you from dying of the disease, or give you a nice afterlife or something?
No, but at least I can be happy of dying a horrible death if it happens. It's win/win really.
>>
>>35284002
Depends how you view it. Ebolists are not that sure themselves.
While some like the Observer- and the Fate- faction want to survive and just see everything degenerated rot away, others like the Deathbringer faction just want to see the world burn. When they are the last survivers they will kill themselves.

Those in the pic are most likely Fatecultists.

What about Plaguebearer? They seem pretty reasonable ...for cultists.

And observer ...yeah tehy are scum. I won't even count them as real Ebolists


And for those that aren't familiar with the theology of Ebola-chan:
>Fate-cultists:
Believing that Ebola-chan will spare those that believe in her but accept it when they get her. They don't activly try to get ebola. (See OP Pic)
>Plaguebearer-cultists:
Believing you should search out for Ebola-chan and get ebola. Those of pure faith will survive.
>Deathbringer-cultists:
Ebola-chan should kill everyone. Those most faithfull will be the last to die. They want to spread Ebola-chans love to all corners of the world. Most dangerous.
>Observer-cultists:
Those who find plague and disease fascinating and are more interested in seeing the results of a modern pandemic than actually caring countless innocent people will die during the happening.

You see, you're supposed to use the wife as bait to distract the cultists. It's a well known fact that every cult inevitably wants to sacrifice a hot girl to their deity, and will willingly leave their stronghold in order to acquire such a sacrifice.

If it works, you get them out in the open away from their altar, where their power will be weakest. If it doesn't work, you've at least gotten rid of your annoying wife.
