Is it wrong that I sometimes feel sorry for Ceryn? Yeah, she's evil and has done horrible things, but she tries so hard to impress her boss and fails that it kinda makes her sympathetic. To me anyway.

To me anyway. It's not wrong that you feel something for Ceryn, I didn't want her to be 100% repellent. Like most people, she wants to make sure her work is appreciated. At least she has a strong work ethic. She's definitely got a comeuppance coming though.

Running the obstacle course! Being a 'taur for some time, Ceryn has an advantage running and jumping! What will our heroes do? I enjoyed writing this section of the story, getting to see 'taurs in action.

Cubist apologizes for the latest strip being late, he accidentally worked on the wrong one. These things happen. Now we get to see some 'taur-some deertaur fighting skills! Yay!

Sheila demonstrates her tail is a lethal weapon! Ceryn is in a deadly game of hot potato, getting smacked around on all sides by various pissed off 'taurs. Ouch!

Not quite too far since Reece stopped her. Now if she went with plan B today or refused to stop, it would have been. But I don't think Ceryn would be able to say much anyway given her speech problems.

Yeah, Sheila's nearly gone over the edge. If Reece and Ally weren't there, I have no doubt she would have killed Ceryn.

Yes, Ally and Reece's presence is the only thing keeping Ceryn alive right now. Ally is trying to be a voice for the greater good, as opposed to Sheila's more primal anger (justified though that it is). The fact that Ceryn's been "cute" so far doesn't justify her willingness to murder other people to get her way, so in a natural sense Sheila would be justified in doing her in.
But as Ally points out, the group made a vow not to kill people in cold blood. Ceryn is incapacitated at the moment, and completely at the girl's mercy. Letting her be apprehended is the correct, lawful thing to do.
Ally also points out, and I think this is important, her ability to handle this situation so rationally is because she had not taken this attack personally. She fully admits that if the situation was reversed, she'd hope that Sheila would be the one holding HER back from killing their foe. It's not that Ally is morally superior to Sheila, it's just that in this situation, she's being the voice of reason.
Like any group, there's going to be disagreements over how to handle the situation. Sheila wants immediate retribution, Ally's trying to think of a way to benefit long-term from this situation. I don't think either reasoning is 100% right or wrong. Killing Ceryn immediately removes someone who has repeatedly threatened them, but puts them back to square one in finding out who's ultimately behind these attacks. Keeping her alive makes her source of information, but should she escape, she'd be a danger to them and others again.
I personally side with Ally on this one, but completely understand where Sheila is coming from.
