#65423, "Wait it out or take your RP down a different arc"
Typically characters who have had their imm go awol mid-run get some love from other imms if they have quality RP and positive impact on the game as a whole. Its not a perfect system but we also dont want to step on the toes of another imm and their religion/RP arcs if they haven't been able to cross paths with a follower for a little bit.
