Quest Delphine - Diplomatic Immunity trouble

[Kaldyr]

So, I dispatched a dragon in fornt of Delphine, and she proceeded to walk to Riverwood.

Choosing to go my way instead of escorting her through a quarter of the land, I did some other quests to pass the time.

Then, upon checking into Riverwood, I see that she is still not there. Through some quest bumbling, I found her in the Bannered Mare, in Whiterun. Seems she has gotten her inns confused, as she is rather reluctant to leave the place.

So, I have no idea how to get into the right place to continue the Main Quest.

I have:

discussed all possible conversation options with her
attacked her
used console to disable/enable her in riverwood
threatened to burn down her precious inn
turned off all mods
and attacked her some more

None of which is helping me move her.

Any thoughts, ideas? Would be appreciated.

You don't say what you're playing Skyrim on, which would help. As console's and PC's have different ways to work around things.

And, Delphine can fast travel with you (at least on XBox she can). You might have to begin the quest again, but then, you never mentioned how far into that quest you are, or got to.

You need to meet an NPC in the Solitude inn, and talk to him if you're beginning that quest. By the time you've handed him what you "can't live without", Delphine should be at the Solitude Stables. And I'd double check your inventory, and if you have a place,stash what you will NOT use, and get a different set of clothes (if you're a Mage).

Delphine will got to the Bannered Mare during this sequence if you do not travel with her back to Riverwood. I've run into her there before after killing the dragon in Kynesgrove. If you approach her there she should tell you to met her back in Riverwood. This seems be part of her "arranging" her next plan for this quest. It may take her a few days to return to Riverwood.

Note that I've read that if you met Delphine at the Bannered mare, you are suppose tot have the option then to travel with her back to Riverwood. I don't recall that--I've always waited and met her back at the Sleeping Giant Inn when I got around to it. Never ran into a problem of her not returning eventually.

If more than 4 or so days have passed, and she's still at the Bannered Mare, then I woudl think it's a possible glitch. If you're on PC ,someone here may be able to offer you a fix. If you're on Xbox, I would recommend going back to the end of A Blade in the Dark and restarting Diplomatic immunity, and this time fast-traveling with her back to Riverwood.

Another glitch fix you can try is this if you're on Xbox or PS3 (no promises it will work, since I have never heard of this glitch before):

Go met her at the Bannered Mare, and stand as close to her as you can. Then save your game. Restart Skyrim. Load that saved game. Then see if then she either leaves or gives you to option to travel back to Riverwood with her. If she's glitched and stuck at the Bannered Mare, doing this may unstick her. This is fix that has worked for me with other "stuck" NPCs in Whiterun.

When I did that quest/job. I didn't go to Solitude for some day's, almost a week. So, I don't figure how Delphine ended up at the Mare, but I guess everyone gets different glitches. When I handed what I needed to the NPC in the Inn at Solitude, and went to the stable's, Delphine was there.
