Well, it’s good to see that Bloodfeast the Exterminator cares.

All we need is just one little Dispel Magic…

EDIT:

Oh, and expecting a cat to appreciate an implicit hierarchy? Lots of luck with that, bub.

Gontor doesn’t know that Bloodfeast has been miniaturised, does he? Suppose Blackwing were to goad him into casting _Greater Dispel Magic_ ? 🙂

Veldrina, Little Whiskers, and Wrecan are special characters who won’t be involved in any fighting and won’t die. Veldrina and her animal companion are a cameo bought through the Kickstarter. They really should have only been in one or two strips, but the author had a use for a fairly high level divine caster who couldn’t cast Resurrection, so he adapted Veldrina to that role. Wrecan is an homage to a long time contributor to the GitP forums but who unfortunately died not too long ago.

So Belkar’s description of them, [“NPC panel-filler”](http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0989.html) is pretty much right on the button.

Meh. Second-rate villain escapes with Macguffin, animals accomplish very little, and no good jokes.

So, could a vampire do this turning to gas thing while holding a person?

Good to see that Bloodfeast still has some fighting spirit. I’m betting that V will enter since surely she feels Blackwings distress.

She is not a very caring familiar-master, though, even if she has stopped forgetting blackwing exists.
