Barovia IV #39 Ghoul Comma Explosive (Season Finale)

Author: Sanspants Radio May 2, 2026 Duration: 1:26:18

The Explosive Ghoul is identical in nearly every-eth manner to their regular cousins but with several notable exceptions: Abyssal energies: what has been identified to power the ghouls has been “supercharged” extensively to such a point that the Explosive Ghoul gains its name and upon destruction will combust and release said energies at high degree and far reach. This can clearly-eth be seen-eth on thine Explosive Ghoul in its somewhat bloated-eth stomach and through its-eth eyes-eth which will instead of being white show through to the planes abyssal (red as it is speculated that the colours of thine abyss are on the average). Thy-eth savvy hunter should-eth k-note that thine Explosive Ghoul should be seen to be-eth smarter than thy average bear (or ghoul) and shall not indeed fall for the same tricks as thine non-explosive cousin. When thine Explosive Ghoul is slain one should be well away lest they become caught in the fiery (and venomous (here-eth venom shall refer-eth to the effect of creating more-eth ghouls (here-eth ghouls shall mean explosive ghouls) on thy savvy (or should I say unsavvy!) death) as the normal ghoul is (which-eth is to speak that the conflagration is neither fiery nor venomous but rather necrotic)) conflagration. Unfortunately, dear reader and savvy hunter I must confess that I was lying to you at the beginning of this here entry as the Explosive Ghoul is not terribly similar to thine regular ghoul. As thine Explosive Ghoul also should be known to be rather tougher than its counterpart and also know that it can belch the very fires (poisonous) of the abyss at thy savvy hunter which have all the treacherous-ies of its venomous attacks. Aside from these incorrections though I was not lying but rather telling the truth as the Explosive Ghoul does have all the same weaknesses and strengths besides!

Step into the world of Ogg Nott, a land brimming with secrets and peril, though its inhabitants remain blissfully unaware of its impending fate. This is the setting for D&D is For Nerds, the acclaimed actual play series from Sanspants Radio. Rather than a single continuous saga, the podcast unfolds across distinct seasons, each a self-contained story with a fresh cast of characters and unique dangers to overcome. This structure makes it easy to jump in anywhere, whether you're new to tabletop roleplaying or a seasoned adventurer. For those who stick around, a deeper, centuries-spanning narrative gradually reveals itself, connecting threads between these seemingly isolated tales. The focus is on the collaborative, often hilarious journey of the players themselves as they navigate dungeons, diplomacy, and sheer chaos. Expect a blend of genuine comedy born from improvisation and camaraderie, alongside compelling fiction shaped by dice rolls and desperate decisions. It’s less about stat blocks and more about the stories that emerge when friends gather around a microphone. The result is an immersive and consistently entertaining escape into a game where anything can happen, and usually does.
