How do you guys/gals suggest I begin coding this? From what I understand, it's impossible to change the animation .mdl files, so could I somehow bonemerge the target NPC and player onto respective custom entities, each with their respective animations? What would be the most effective way to trigger a finisher?

not impossible to change animations in mdl files, you just have to decompile and recompile.

In something like [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/GM/EntityTakeDamage]GM/EntityTakeDamage[/url], if you determine there should be a finishing move, don't actually kill the player, trigger the animation, set them to a state where they can't take damage, once the animation is done, kill them.
