If the player baits Philomeen by saying "You wouldn't dare - you don't have the courage" and "I don't care. Go on, blow us up" then Philomeen actually ignites the barrel. The explosion kills Philomeen and does significant damage to the party. Similarly, if the party fails to persuade Philomeen in the initial dialogue, she blows up the barrel. It is possible to bypass the checks by sneaking and stealing the barrel before Philomeen can ignite it.

Talking down Philomeen results in her saying she'll make the cult suffer at Moonrise. The party can tell her that they just want to help with the cave-in that has trapped some gnomes, in which case she explains that the barrel isn't necessary. It's not a Smokepowder Barrel, but a legendary explosive {{SmIconLink|Runepowder Barrel Icon.png|Runepowder Barrel}}. She needs to take the barrel back to [[Baldur's Gate]] to help her clan, but she's willing to part with a {{SmIconLink|Runepowder Vial Icon.png|Runepowder Vial}} that is plenty powerful enough to destroy the cave-in. If the party accepts the deal, she provides the vial and runs off. Otherwise, she turns hostile.

In addition to the Runepowder Vial, Philomeen leaves behind a hidden reserve of Smokepowder. In the room where Philomeen was found, near the campfire, there is a backpack with a hand-drawn map (X:-539, Y:464). Reading it automatically adds a marker to the reserve. To find it - return to the room near the docks with the gnome corpses. Open the metal door and enter the room - a perception check reveals a button (X:-585, Y:388). Within the room are two {{SmallIcon|Throwable Smokepowder Satchel Icon.png}} [[Smokepowder Satchel|Smokepowder Satchels]] and a Heavy Chest.
