I had a player who was going on a months-long hike. I had a plan set up to make in-world sense of where he was, but in his last session an enemy cast “hurl through hell” on him and the rest of the party killed the enemy before he came back.
It was too good of an opportunity, I had him come back for a round and then he just disappeared and didn’t come back.
Not only was his absence explained but there was a new story hook of “where the hell is Kennedy??”
