The party plays out as normal if the Urge was rejected, but if it was embraced, the player character will not be able to interact with the party. Instead, a bloodsoaked player character will stumble into the campsite from afar with insanity in their eyes, as {{CharLink|Bhaal}} has lived up to his promise to shred their mind if they didn't take over the Netherbrain. They contemplate killing all the other attendees in their sleep while licking {{SmRarityItem|Bloodthirst}}. | ||

The player can ask her to join the Harpers and she will agree, even if they are a mind flayer. Otherwise, she asks the player character what "home" means to them, and they can answer with either Baldur's Gate, the campsite, Karlach (if they went to Avernus with her), their romantic partner, or nowhere because they prefer adventuring. She then dismisses herself to make sure no one tampers with the drinks. | ||
