Rafer is now the Harbinger of the Companions. He is relaxing inside The Frozen Hearth, preparing to make the treacherous walk to Windhelm. From theirs he will take a carriage to Whiterun and walk to Riverwood to meet the Horn thief. He is wielding Wuuthrad, along with a silver greatsword and an Orcish warhammer of thunderbolts (which he now has 2 of). He has a Galdur Amulet fragment (+30 health) and also a necklace of fortify two handed damage +20. No other new gear of note.
As you can tell from above, Rafer has been busy. He killed a lot more Silverhand, went through Ustengrav, followed by Folgunthur. He picked up the Lord stone at some point. No that Rafer has Wuuthrad he will pursue the main quest in order to bring it to the "Party!"
Rafer is off to a faster start than expected. I will likely not be able to keep this pace up.
