Will the hobo's body be burned, or will he be a victim of the insane priest?

Insane priest/Cultist. A body besides our groups would add credence to the cultist thing. Why would they just kill members of the group that was seen talking together in the library in ritualistic ways?

Maybe the group should go kill some other people and add them as well.

And the priest's hands would need to be covered in blood, and you would have to get some sort of instrument which can take out some ones heart that cleanly and bring it to the barn. A person can't do that with bare hands you know.

True IHMN... I wasn't thinking of the weapon having to be there. Cultists it is... they could simply have taken their instruments with them when they left the scene.

But isn't the father the cultist (Making up more would lead to investigations), and if you killed him why wouldn't the weapon be there?

Well, it's the 1920s... they can't investigate very well. We can simply say that he was one of them, or even that he was a victim. Their investigations wouldn't be able to turn up a whole lot, and all they could really do was stake the place out. The pentagram and what have you would lead them to believe the cultist story checks out... and if no cultists showed up it could simply be because they figured that they were found out. Cops would keep their eyes open for awhile, and then put the case on the back burners after a few months, not bothering to really look into it at all... but murder cases never actually close.

Possible Explainations

David/Gabriel - Ritual Killing.
William - Neck was snapped and was about to be ripped off. Cultists didn't finish the job, that was when the others had arrived.
Sgt. Mike - Neck snapped and then ripped off.
Frankie - Was getting his ass ritually beaten/biten/etc. until left to bleed to death.
Sithdarth - Had acid burns, I believe.
Hobo - Well...he got killed when attacking the rescuers or just happened to be there.
Various Animals - Cultists had apparently been there a while.

1) The Father couldn't be a cultist, because there's evidence that they had been there for a while and he (like most of the others) had just arrived a day before.

2) The cultists took the members and various animal corpses for their ritual. The victims were chosen by how people were snooping around the house, and the Hobo..was just there. If he was the zombie, he was an accomplice in this.

3) The victims had arrived much earlier than everyone else. The cult took them by surprise, and started their ritual. Later, the others arrived, and suspicious of something, were prepared to catch the unprepared cultists. However, the cultists manage to get away. Except for the Hobo, if he was the Zombie, because it's obvious that someone shot him on purpose, and the bullets were from one of our guns.

The hobo never got shot, but he was a zombie.

I thought the Zombie got shot...who did then? Or did noone at all?

A zombie got shot. David and the hobo both became zombies, but the hobo zombie never got to the house or any of us... the David zombie bit Frankie and got shot up.
