Minsc recruit

Recruiting Minsc looks like it will involve freeing him from a mindflayer's control:

		//REGION Minsc version
		// Minsc is not in party: set him as the one being controlled

               // If mind flayer dies, set minsc neutral to thralls
		PROC
		PROC_CRA_MinscRecruitment_SetMinscNeutralToThralls()
		AND
		DB_CRA_MinscRecruitment_Minsc(_Char)
		AND
		DB_CRA_MinscRecruitment_MinscsParty(_Thrall)
		AND
		GetFaction(_Char, _MinscFaction)
		AND
		GetFaction(_Thrall, _ThrallFaction)
		THEN
		PROC_SetRelationMutual(_MinscFaction, _ThrallFaction, 50);
		//END_REGION

                //REGION Combat with controlled characters
		// Combat starts and characters (Minsc/Thralls) are controlled by the mind flayer, get combat ID
		IF
		EnteredCombat(_Char, _CombatID)
		AND
		DB_CRA_MinscRecruitment_ControlledCharacters((CHARACTER)_Char)
		AND
		GetFlag((FLAG)CRA_MinscRecruitment_State_CharacterControlled_cc1c7989-da17-4b96-b016-c179d7ec5613, _Char, 1)
		THEN
		DB_CRA_MinscRecruitment_Combat(_CombatID);
		// Fallback for if by any chance players start fighting them without triggering the intro dialog, set the flag as if they normally started the combat
		SetFlag(CRA_MinscRecruitment_Event_StartFight_63048f4f-d237-4d9a-b43d-9cb685fa79f1, NULL_00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000);

                // If Minsc's HP goes below a threshold, snap him out of the mind flayer's control and help the players
		IF
		HitpointsChanged(S_Player_Minsc_0de603c5-42e2-4811-9dad-f652de080eba, _)
		AND
		DB_CRA_MinscRecruitment_ControlledCharactersWithFlag(S_Player_Minsc_0de603c5-42e2-4811-9dad-f652de080eba)
		AND
		IsImmortal(S_Player_Minsc_0de603c5-42e2-4811-9dad-f652de080eba, 1)
		AND
		GetHitpoints(S_Player_Minsc_0de603c5-42e2-4811-9dad-f652de080eba, _HP)
		AND
		_HP <= 5
		THEN
		PROC_CRA_MindFlayerControl_TryRemoveCharmedStatus(S_Player_Minsc_0de603c5-42e2-4811-9dad-f652de080eba);
		PROC_CRA_MinscRecruitment_SetMinscHostileToThralls();

		// If Minsc's HP goes below a threshold, start mind meld
		IF
		HitpointsChanged(S_Player_Minsc_0de603c5-42e2-4811-9dad-f652de080eba, _)
		AND
		DB_CRA_MinscRecruitment_ControlledCharactersWithFlag(S_Player_Minsc_0de603c5-42e2-4811-9dad-f652de080eba)
		AND
		IsImmortal(S_Player_Minsc_0de603c5-42e2-4811-9dad-f652de080eba, 1)
		AND
		GetHitpointsPercentage(S_Player_Minsc_0de603c5-42e2-4811-9dad-f652de080eba, _HP)
		AND
		_HP < 75.0
		THEN
		PROC_CRA_MinscRecruitment_StartMindMeld();



Looks like it's the event near the start with the mind controlled fishers:

		// Case for when we have to hide the fishers (arrive to the Den, finish the confrontation and the crash scene wasn't solved)
		PROC
		PROC_CRA_MindFlayerControl_EndCrashScene(1)
		AND
		DB_CRA_MinscRecruitment_ControlledCharactersWithFlag(_)
		THEN
		PROC_CRA_MindFlayerControl_HideThralls();

		PROC
		PROC_CRA_MindFlayerControl_HideThralls()
		AND
		DB_CRA_MinscRecruitment_ThrallParty(_Thrall)
		THEN
		SetOnStage(_Thrall, 0);
		//END_REGION

Seems that's where you'll eventually recruit Minsc. Quite early on.
