[D&D] Hypothetically, could a group of Bards execute someone via Roast?

The Cantrip 'Vicious Mockery' is used by Bards to deal damage via insult. If someone were restrained and unable to resist, could they be insulted to death? If bards did a roast of someone, could it be potentially lethal?

Absolutely. Vicious Mockery isn't entirely just taunting and insults, it's laced with arcane power. It's a really, really minor spell, but it IS magic. Given enough Bards, or enough time, they could even 'Mock' an Ancient Dragon to death.
