Probably not, everyone in the panel looked to be in a ~20-ft area, with Bloodfeast nowhere there. And V would need to roll at least an 11 to remove Miron's(assuming he's level 20) Baleful Polymorph.

edit: DnD adventure idea: Random farmer mistakenly receives an errant casting of Message, takes it as a message from the gods and starts a cult

Neat, but Message has such a short range(Medium: 100ft +10ft/level) that it'd be hard not to see the person casting it. Or hear, since despite being a stealth communication spell it has a verbal component. Plus, unlike Sending, it's a two-way communication for several minutes, so I don't see how it would be a mistake without some way of correcting it.

Now, intentionally messaging someone so they start a cult. That's a genuine laugh. Or a plot for an Evil-aligned PC adventure.

This is something I've thought about with regard to GOOlocks and their telepathic communication from the get-go. Particularly, I wonder if you'd have any way of recognizing who it was that was speaking to you in your head if you didn't already know...

I figure it'd be great for setting up a cult! Sneakily proselytize via telepathy, and hopefully your acolytes count as level 1 once they take the pact and can start using it themselves to spread the network! :P

I'm gonna call my wild theory now that the invisible stalkers or whatever will show up and bail Serini out.

"Invisible stalkers"? The green and orange voices that captured O-chul and Lien? That was Serini and Sunny, respectively.

Because the world is going to end. That goes for everybody, magically summoned or no.

Especially so when you consider that, by living next to the Gate, Serini and family are in a very real danger of being hit by the Snarl should it break free.

If only Serini let them talk for long enough to explain that they also want to protect the gate.

Then she would know what is going on.

Given the discourse between Serini and the paladins, she knows very well that this is what they want to do. She also knows that the four other gates had blown up, and V helpfully indicated the OotS' involvement.

And, let's be honest, the party almost revealed the real dungeon to Xykon as part of their surprise attack. They're bad at protecting things, it just so happens that up until the dwarven council, destruction always proved a viable plan B.

So if I'm looking at this right, and provided that there's actually any consistency at all in which eyestalks are which, that means V just got slapped with petrification.

EDIT: Also, it looks a bit like he's just blasted the lizard with antimagic.
