Wow this has become a brutal discussion.Couldn't she have just gotten scared and ran away? Then we never see her again. Less savage and graphic mauling involved that way.

That can do too. It's up to Dark. Having her die probably would emotionally scar the party seeing their very first permanent death, but not killing her and having her run away works as well as a less brutal predicament xD and less traumatizing.
