@Hudzy It should do. This isn't my first experience with Imprisonment lol. In my first blind playthrough (so I totally missed Freedom Scrolls in SoA) I lost everyone except Anomen (ironically) to Imprisonment by a Lich in Watcher's Keep. I made do with substitutes for quite a long time before saving everyone.
But yes, I did make a save right after that battle, in the worst case scenario, I could just cheat Anomen back in with the exact same xp and equipment... Or just stick with Jaheria, she is quite a boss in BG2.
@bengoshi I can confirm from both BG2 Vanilla and BG2:EE that you can definitely leave an area and abandon Imprisoned companions.
What I think @Dee meant in that comment is that if they made Imprisonment on Charname no longer game-ending, then they'd have to make it impossible to leave a zone if you have Imprisoned characters. Because otherwise you'd have the awkward situation of continuing a game without a protagonist, who's not dead, but also not able to participate in the plot that clearly needs him.

According to Dee's post here http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/comment/344670/#Comment_344670 one can't leave an area if someone from the party was imprisoned.
