The closest save I have is just before Random asks anyone who's not going to fight to unequip any good equipment. The only portal open is the portal to the Celestial Palace. I exit the menu and the scene changes to just in front of the portal. Yveen is in the lead with Random, Luciana, Louthros, and Zelina following. I don't know if Luck is important, but it usually is with Indy, so I'll mention it. Random's luck is 550. I don't have the Sunflower quest yet as I haven't yet brought Louthros to the bath house in Azan. I go to step into the Celestial Portal and select the option to Change Leader. I'm told Yveen is currently my leader. I select Random and enter the portal. I immediately leave the portal and Random asks Yveen to open a portal to Azan. She opens that portal. I go to Azan and to the bath house, more correctly Royal Thermals, talk to the girls and go under the bath to the end, Louthros announces he's already killed Mikkelsen. I go to the Guild of Indinera to report Mikkelsen's death and am then given the Sunflower Quest. I return to the MSI. As soon as I land back in the MSI Random asks Yveen to open a portal to the Sunflower Crops. Yveen is hesitant, Random says 'You know I'm right, just do it!' and Yveen opens the portal. I tried this with Random as leader, Yveen as leader and Luciana as leader. Didn't make a difference, Yveen opened the portal each time. I've done it over and over using different leaders (doesn't seem to make a difference) and different option. 'We'll do the crops after' and 'You know I'm right' both seem to work, the first and fourth don't work.
I managed to lower Random's luck by unequipping him of all except his Laxius Armor (which you can't unequip), Luck didn't change much, but then I equipped him with the Torture Book. I did this in Azan before returning to MSI. Random's luck was drastically lowered from 674 (I think completing the 4th Indinera Guild quest raised it from the earlier 550) to a measly 310. This time, Yveen refused to open the Sunflower portal. I'd definitely look at what Random's luck is.
