It's much quicker and easier than playing out the scene ordinarily, but it sucks from a roleplaying perspective, so I'm always in two minds about it.
Actually, this last time through with a chaotic neutral character, I ended up doing both (freeing her, the killing her before she got away). I had knocked her down to near death before she talked again, so a few hits and she was gone. Justification? It felt right to free her (don't like people enslaved), but I owed her big time for killing my friend (even if she did bring him back). In truth, the encounter ticked me off so much I just wasted her out of spite... [img]tongue.gif[/img]
