How to Kill a players pet and mercenary

[vkrr]

for what it's worth, I was using this as part of a comprehensive 'rebirth' package on my server. A player reaches max level and then has a chance to be born again as a different class.
Once any pets are dead and buffs are stripped, the class change is forced which disconnects the player, when they log back in the mercenary is back to level 1 with them so problem solved =)
