Funny backstab stories

I was playing earlier today and my level one assassin decided to hide in shadows(she failed about five times before getting it right) then sneak up behind a dread wolf and back stab it. Instead of killing or damaging said wolf she decided to break her sword then get eaten by said wolf. Anyone else have similar experiences?

    I just laugh at the

    "Imoen : Backstab double damage
    Imoen causes 2 damage on kobold"

    I'm against Imoen doing anything beside shooting her little bow...

    I guess before you get there you should make sure she understands that you stab the kobold with the pointy end of the weapon...

    This one time at bandit camp, I backstabbed and restealthed so quickly with my SD, that the other bandits didn't become aggressive

    Cool, they just thought the guy died of a heart attack or something, you were THAT good! :-)

    de'Arnise Keep, Nalia backstabs the Yuan-Ti Mage so hard it explodes. Its brain casts a contingent stoneskin and whatever else the Yuan-Ti Mage I habitually gas contingencies on itself.

    Back when I did a solo run through Icewind Dale with an elf Fighter/Magic-User/Thief, I mondo-critted Yuxonmei with the Long Sword of Confusion +2. Confusion pops. She went from giving me a smug exposition about being a snake-lady who lives forever and has six arms and lots of servants, to "oh god all this blood I need some fresh air I'm going outside". Then I cornered her in the hall and sent her snakey self back to the Abyss for a century.
    It was like one of those awesome fight sequences from a Conan movie. Except instead of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Gerry Lopez, and Sandahl Bergman, it was just Melinda Clarke.

    .

    I recently did the same thing to that Yuan-Ti mage, but instead of Nalia it was the protagonist. Pieces went everywhere.

    I love the voice actor for that girl. But I never thought of running Icewind dale solo. Though I could never beat that game due to me losing interest to it. I've started like three games and end up stopping at the same spot.

    I just told the drow girl whose boyfriend hits her that if I ever saw him I'd get all pro-wrestling on him and the savegame went "swplbsl what". :| At it again, this time with some (more )mods installed~ I only dislike Dragon's Eye, because of the obnoxious amounts of Yuan-Ti present. The other places are really cool. "Yuan-Ti, Yuan-Ti, Yuan-Ti, stupid zombie thing with a snakey name, Twilight Sparkle/Rikku/Bubbles again, Yuan-Ti...whargarbl.".

    No one calls me a knuckle-dragging moron. No one.

    Doesn't Yxunomei need like a +4 weapon to hit? Most of my weapons, excluding Spinesheath and Conlan's Hammer, never work on her. How did you get that Longsword to work?
    EDIT: Upon further research, apparently you DO only need +2 weapons to hit her. Wow I assumed you needed higher and have been doing that fight all wrong for a while...


    As for a backstabbing story, none of the
    enemy monks during Rasaad's quest
    felt it prudent to chase down my stalker after running in with boots of speed and under stealth, kill one, run into the next room, and then rinse repeat. Nothing too funny, just Stalker being a jerk and monk's not following enough. I have also had the Imoen backstabbing for 2 damage--it annoys me as much as her 2 damage critical bow hits.

    I was playing BG2 with Yoshimo in my group. I was in the Copper Coronet down in the slave pits. I had him sneak up behind the Beast master and Backstab him. He did 116 hit points of damage in one hit. Then the Minotaur ganked him before the rest of the party could get in to help him.

    All the more reason I adore that sword. ...and all the more reason I like shutting that mouthy snake-lady down.

    Once I tried to BS an ooze. Didn't know which part was his/her/it's back, so I had to guess. I hit him right in the face(?). So i stealthed and went around on the other side. Straight in the nose again. The ooze had turned around, but no one could ever tell.

    I cleared out nearly all of the Cloakwood Mines with Montaron. Don't know if it was funny, though, cause I couldn't hear any of his victims laughing.

    The weird thing is you can actually backstab an ooze.
