Last time I had this type of situation, I had crafted a shaman for Beroxxus who went ahead and left almost immediately after. Some other imm gave me empowerment and I played out the life of the character. I didn't get much in the way of immteraction, but I did get empowered.

The imms don't tend to want to beat you with the funstick, so just stick it out, keep playing and praying as though your goddess could hear.
