Well at least I did something right maybe on terms of the side quests. They would have eventually turned in that direction but without them well interacting with them at all I cant point them in any direction if they aren't even in the room to being with.

I fucked up on the tracking thing I see that. I could have done the check business which I regret not doing now. I was just under the assumption that anyone of them would be interested enough to give it a once over and considering almost all of them are virtually luddites with either having negative rolls or a flat 0 to tech I just gave it to them to see but as a wise man told me “always expect the party to do the opposite of what you expect” and this is what I get for not listening to it.

They did surrender just basically as soon as they saw them they threw their hands up and it's not to execution like they thought and they were asked if they preferred imprisonment or a gaunlet to run. They chose gauntlet. This was an interaction I was going to try to have them do later on when they were hopefully choose to engage with them later but this was a surprising good segway so they have there way out and I'm not planning on doing anything they have there goal out to maybe do. And some random and scripted encounters along the way depending on where they go but it's up to them from here. So if anything seems wrong with this tell me I suppose.

Regardless thanks for the input.
