There is a sort of universal ritual common to many cults (and cultures) to get your players out of that sort of trouble. It's called "Feets" or Move Someplace Else and is found in many scenario hooks. How many PC's wind up in Pavis because they made things too hot for themselves in Sartar? 'Course, if your PC's stick to enemies/victims who are unlikely to have the support structure for the kind of vendetta they (or you) seem to fear such as Broos, bandits (ie other adventurers), or Big Monsters they shouldn't have to worry too much. I suspect one could play a high percentage of the published RQ/Gloranthan scenarios out there without putting yourself on anyone's Most Wanted List.
