Started the Companions quests and my follower was sent away w/ "The Silver Hand" quest. Completed that along w/ Striking the Heart, now on Stealing Plans. Anyway, went searching for Kharjo. Found the caravan huts in Riftin but the huts are empty? Missing the hair-ball coughs...must more Companion quests be completed or, #$#^*@ has he met his end on the trail?
