I really love the flavor of the Death Mongers. I'm a bit unsure of how to build one though. The spells and paths seem to treat the Divine Trinity as a single Deity, but there's no entry that matches the original ARPG table 2-2 to describe that deity's armor, skill, and weapon.
Reading the "Initiate" background, I'd guess at:
Deity: Divine Trinity / Death Monger
Pantheon: Pantheon of Man
Sect: Divine Trinity / Death Monger
Skill: Etiquette?? Heal??
Weapon: Spear
Armor: Chainmail
You're correct. For skill, pick one of the three.
So a standard starting build would be:
Archetype: Divine
Deity: Divine Trinity
Background: Initiate to the Divine Trinity / Death Monger
If you look at the Spells section, you'll note that there is an entry for Deity spells specific to the Divine Trinity. This list replaces the list you would get if you selected an individual god.

Finally, can you play a DM on its own, or do you have to get two friends to join you (since they always travel in groups of three or more, per their path)?
You're fine making one and adventuring on your own. If you can convince a couple of friends to join you, it would be cool to see, but not required.
