If you released her, then the quest is over, done.
As for the 2 who escape, then I always wax them. No criminal will get away from my sword
As for the lady, then you actually had there 2 options: release her and be a good guy and the hero; or get the ransom for her first, for what you would have needed the note. Ransom would have been the Silver Pantaloons and REP -2.
But since you already let her go, then done, the quest is over, you can move on with the rest of the game.
EDIT: Forgot to add - I ALWAYS collect the ransom heh.. One thing is to be a "victim", another thing is to be the arrogant twit. That Lagy Elgea, or whatever her name is, is the second one. So I with great pleasure collect the ransom for her. Not to mention, I love to show later to the "law enforcers" there who's best heh
