Squire
Hi, I plan on making an AAR for warband that is native, yet has been extensively tweaked with tweakmb and had a few little things added in such as weapons and such. Along with that I am using 1.143 as I didn't like the economic updates in 1.152. I hope you will enjoy my AAR and I will start with a small prologue.

Prologue
As a boy I grew up with little enough love. My mother had died while birthing me and my father was a mercenary warrior who was always fighting in a war for some lord or another, and when he wasn't fighting in a war he was teaching me how to fight in a war. He taught me many things in these days, some rudimentary skills with swords, how to throw an axe with a degree of accuracy, and how to block strikes with a shield. These lessons I almost looked forward to because they were some of the only time I really had with my father, whether he showed many any emotion at all, but I still enjoyed just being with him.
      Those lessons were a constant thing whenever he wasn't on campaign, but then came the thing that I dreaded whenever he left. The Lord who had most recently hired my father came by my fathers little house. I knew as soon as I saw someone so well dressed what had happened, I wished it had not but I accepted the cold hard truth before he said the words, my father was dead. The Lord explained to me that he was here because my father had given his life while taking those of 3 others who would of killed him otherwise. He then explained that he wished to repay my father by giving me a position in his court, he said he was in need of a page and I was just of the right age. So I went with that Lord to court and performed duties as a page for him, until I was older that is.
      One day I was in the practice field with a blunted sword practicing with another of the pages, this one born from a noble house, and I was beating him badly. He could hardly raise his sword in the time that I took to make 3 hits. It was right after this that the lord came down to me and told me that he wished to make me a squire based on my past service and skill with weapons, again I accepted his offer and became his squire. I learned more skill with blades and all sorts of weapons, although the throwing axes of my youth received little attention. After many years, when most other squires I had seen were knights on their own, many the same age of me and not half as proficient with a blade, I confronted the Lord. He gave me many reasons why I wasn't a knight yet, but it all boiled down to the fact that I was common born and the others were born of men with money, or noble. At that point I left the Lord and set off on my own.
      I don't know why, but I felt a burning desire to get revenge for the wrong that had been done to me, yet how was I to do it? How was I to gain this revenge? I knew it would not happen in this land so I began to look for ships to carry me to other lands, it took me awhile, but I found a ship that would take me to a land known as Calradia, where kings could fall within weeks and where men of ambition could gain Lordships faster than a man of noble birth. I signed on to the ship immediately and began my journey.
        It was only at a point halfway through the journey that I thought to ask the captain of the ship where in this land known as Calradia we were headed to. He told me that we were heading for the city of Reyvadin in a place known as the Kingdom of Vaegir's.

Chapter 1

  We landed in this land and got the Reyvadin on the day of March 22 of the year 1257. I picked the cheapest inn I could find and spent a few coins on a night there, yet the bed was so uncomfortable I was capable of just a few short hours of sleep and rose around dawn to wander the city. Yet as soon as I put a step out of the door I heard a sound familiar from my childhood and youth, the sound of a blade being drawn from its scabbard. Later I was to learn that this was my first lesson in Calradian hospitality.

My first kill in this land.

  After I had dealt with this overblown bandit using some of the skills I had been taught earlier in life I looked up to see a man in rich robes running towards me. He had concern on his face and when he got near I heard why. Many a man who had not known his way around a blade had perished by bandits in a similar way. He took me into his house and told me that his brother had recently disappeared and that he wanted me to try and find him. I agreed and he told me he would pay with good coin when I completed the task, then he set me the first part of the task. It was to hire 5 men and he gave me 100 denars to do it with, I wasn't complaining. I went off to the villages nearby and quickly gathered the men needed plus another before hurrying back to meet the merchant.

  Upon reaching the city again and trying to enter I was set upon by two bandits, no doubt friends of the one I had slain earlier, who attempted to kill me. They met with a death just as swift as the one granted to the other.

Bandit scum

  I found a small sack of money on one of their persons and took it for my own.
  Afterwards I again entered the city to find the tavern where the Merchant had said he would be waiting. I found him and showed him the six men I had brought along at his orders. He was satisfied and told me to search for a small party of bandits which would most likely be able to tell me where they were holding his brother. I took the orders and went back out of the city to complete them.

  It took me no time to find this party and kill all but one of the men within it. The last man I tied up and waited for him to awake, it took several hours and when he finally did I promised him freedom if he gave me the infromation, he gave the infromation of where their camp was, near some small village which I now forget the name of, and then I put him to the sword. The young recruits in my army were aghast at the act, yet I knew that they had needed to watch as many worse things would happen later on.

  I then proceeded to the bandit's camp and got there, once there I told all my men to hold near the only entrance they had left themselves, and proceeded into the camp where I slew every man there, except for one. That one man saw how I had handled his companions and choose instead to charge into my men waiting near the entrance, they didn't all go for him, but one young lad did the deed. Upon killing all the bandits I had my men scour the camp to find the merchants brother, they did after some time and I told him why I was there. He thanked me and left on his own, an unwise choice considering I had offered my protection back to the city where his brother was, but to each his own.

  From there I headed back to the city where I told the Merchant of my deed and he rewarded me 200 denars for its completion. Afterward he approached me with another deal aswell. He would pay me another 200 denars if I helped him prove that a captain on the city watch was crooked, I accepted as it would almost be free denars.

Free money, kill a few bandits and get paid

  I completed the task easy and took the coin for it. However, the Merchant wasn't so lucky. He was thrown out of the city and told to find somewhere else to live. It wasn't that the Lord didn't appreciate the task he had done, it was because the Lord didn't like anyone with power enough to find out something even he didn't know. It was then that I knew I had come to the right place. When this Merchant with nothing but an excess of coin and some good advisors had been thrown out of a town just because he found out something the Lord didn't know, well that told me for sure that I had a chance of making something of myself in this land.

Current stats. Not bad considering I haven't done anything yet.
 
And also, I forgot. Merchant was thrown out of town, so will you land him few hundred coins so he could continue to live. He helped you to survive. You should do the same.  :lol:
