Loving the content btw, almost 400 KC in and I'm looking forward to many more.

The minotaur has a timer on it, if the player is in melee range when the timer runs, it will melee you.

If you're not, then it will scan for a radius of 10 tiles from it's centre coordinate, respecting line of sight.
If it finds an NPC in this radius that is:
- not a minotaur
- has less than 75% of its total hitpoints
- its centre coordinate is also in the line of sight to the minotaurs centre coordinate
- and is 7 or less tiles away

Then it heals the npc
