2 quick questions

[riraito.]

Hi, noob here,

One of my lords was captured by an enemy faction.  When I go to the castle holding my lord, I click on it and it gives me 2 options:
>Approach the gate
>Leave

I choose approach the gate and gives me 2 options
>Request to meet with a person'
>Leave

Now I can meet with the enemy lords at the castle and I can't do anything with them except ask for peace.  I read somewhere that you can break out lords from prison but I don't see an option for that.  I also don't know how to just buy him back.  It's been frustrating because I keep losing relation with the captured lord, and the only other option is to siege the castle, and I will win but I don't want the castle because it's on the other side of the map..

What am I supposed to do?

Other question:  Sometimes I get an escort quest; escort so and so to such and such destination.  I arrive at the destination but either the destination doesn't detect the the person I'm escorting, or the person I'm escorting doesn't detect the destination.  That is, I can move all around and over the destination but the quest never completes.  I tried talking to the person but of course the only options are "follow me or stay here" .. so the quest eventually fails and my companions get mad and I lose relation with the quest giver.  Is there a way fix this? say, a command to set the quest as complete or something.. ?

Thanks all

Some of the lords have a wife (only those starting with castle or city fief). Sometimes you can get a quest from the wife to free her husband.
Or you can wait until the lord is ransomed or escapes by himself. Sorry, you have no way to influence that through the game put you could use a tweak to increase the frequency.
Or you conquer the castle.

Are you using a mod or Warbands? I never had a problem with M&B native.

You can try to talk to any ransom broker and ransom your companion.

Talk to the one whom you should escort and they'll be detected when you arrive at the destination.
