Interacting with a Kobold Tunnel at maximum range will throw the Unstable Dynamite and remove it from your inventory, but it will not blow up and will not count towards quest progress. So make sure you get close before interacting.

Brutes are scarce and the area is heavily farmed at the time of writing this.
They are literally named Waterworks Brute.
You can find some on /way 44.85, 43.93.
Have fun!
I found the dynamite I needed in the building at /way 44.71 46.32
