Personally, I like the last section. It has a bardic feel to it, as if the entire story may be told at a fireside and the end is a caution -- I can picture the bard setting himself up with the fire illuminating his face, leaning forward with a finger pointing at some hapless soul in the front row 
Orectic is the one that stands out, I think most others are ok but you do need to be careful lumping a whole lot of them together. I would say that about any modifiers though, not just "complicated" words.
