Capture prisoners is a quest given by lords.

Summary[]

(Lord) has requested you to bring him (amount) (unit) as prisoners.

Walkthrough[]

The easiest way to capture prisoners is to find any travelling party on the map that contains the required units, and facing them in battle. Tell your party to use blunt weapons only to prevent killing the enemies.

Transcript[]

A group of my soldiers were captured in a recent skirmish with the enemy. Thankfully we have a mutual agreement of prisoner exchange, and they will release my men, but they want us to give them prisoners if[sic?] equal rank and number. Prisoners I don't currently have. So I nee a good man to find me (amount) (unit) as prisoners, that I may exchange them.

You can count on me, sir.
Excellent, (player), excellent. I have every confidence in you.
I fear I cannot accept such a mission at the moment.
Is that so? Well, I suppose you're just not up to the task. I shall have to look for somebody with more mettle.
