There is a dispute going on in my current DND game...
a harpy has gained control of our warlock who has a familiar and told him to kill his familiar. The player of the Warlock is saying if he permanently dismisses his familiar, then because he cannot be resummoned ever again, he is dead. The DM is in disagreement, that the familiar is going back to the ethereal plain, still alive, just permanently dismissed.
The familiar wouldn't be dead. It's a spirit creature turned into an animal or quasit or whatever. So it wouldn't be dead, just far far away. If the order is literally to "kill", then dismissal is insufficient. Alternately, this could require a quest to some plane to actually kill it.
What I don't get is how the harpy is doing this with luring song.

Which is it?
