So after finding Alduin's wall I did the quest going to the throat of the world and thereafter wished to begin rebuilding the blades. I went to meet Esbern and Delphine outside the Temple in the courtyard. When Esbern was rambling on sorts of life meanings and what not, a dragon decided to show. They both jumped off the cliff to fight it and in my pursuit I lost them. They are no longer in the courtyard at the temple and I checked back several times as well as looking around the mountain. Will they be missing forever, and will I ever be able to start the blades quest? Has anyone had a problem similar to this where someone for a quest went missing?
