+1 quick question, say minions travel for a long duration. Do they still get random encounters? Because technically, they're just avatar abilities, not avatars themselves.

They should, since they are an extension of the avatar themselves and the Dissolutions won't simply ignore them, however, Outlaws wouldn't lose their time in a task that won't get them anywhere.

I'd say, use your judgment.
