More often than not, when I'm at the mill in Riverwood and have firewood to sell, I can't find Hod anywhere. I go to his house, and he's nowhere to be found. Sometimes he's at the mill but the majority of the time, I can't find him at the mill or his house. Is this a bug or something? Or is he somewhere else?

I think he goes hunting or something. It has happened to me also. I tired to find him. But i coudn't figure out where he was, but then as i took off i saw him walking out of Riverwood into the forest near Embershard Mine. Sometimes the Elf in riverwood the one that cuts wood goes hunting also. I don't if they are hunting or what. All i know is that they wonder off.

Faendal and Hod both like to hang out on the cliffs behind their houses. Maybe its marked as part of their yard or something.

hod is usually at home if not at the mill usually ill wait for him and if he doesn't show up ill go to his house then immediately he will walk out the door when i enter his house
