Although we are getting a bit off topic : I forget how I failed to save the character, but the next turn the minautaur ignored Laezel in melee and instead ended the dying character. Normally, creatures who wish to live focus the active threats, but anyhow. No matter, we have tons of Revivify scrolls. It did not matter to me: the 3 left characters focused on ending the two minautaurs rather than saving a character.
In retrospect, using Dex or Wis spells would have been much much better than my ambush/trap attempt.
A little bit off-topic, sure, but still worthwhile discussion. As has been argued in many threads, the enemies' penchant for attacking downed enemies is a bit odd and feels spiteful. And doesn't really make sense for all but the most feral or most intelligent enemies.

I find that Menacing Attack is one of the most useful abilities out of all the characters' abilities, since being frightened is overpowered in BG3 compared to PnP 5e.
-you're right that hold person wouldn't work. I retract that statement.
I agree with you that Larian homebrewing a lot of characters to add the same jump mechanic is somewhat boring. Just let the minotaurs charge!
