Script stopping after getting bad request (HTTP 400)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to make a tycoon sort of game that loads npcs and puts the avatars of the players friends onto the npcs but ive ran into an issue where if the server has a bad request at getting the description ( Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId() failed because HTTP 400 (Bad Request)) it completely stops the script from working and no further npcs are spawned.
Heres my code, thanks for any help.

while true do
	for i, droppers in ipairs(droppertable) do
		local randomFriend = usernames[math.random(#usernames)]
		local randomFriendNPC = npc:Clone()
		randomFriendNPC.PrimaryPart.Position = droppers.SpawnPoint.Position
		randomFriendNPC.Parent = script.Parent.DropperFriends
		local newHumanoidDescription = game.Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(randomFriend)
		randomFriendNPC.Humanoid:ApplyDescription(newHumanoidDescription)
	end
	wait(5)
end

Wrap in pcall to handle any errors.
