I had no idea the English language could be so varied, or so ridiculous, and I actually had to go and look a few words up! Another fantastic round everyone, great words!

This time my attention was grabbed by @Menolly 's strong female lead character vibes. Here is how the passage sounds with Menolly re-writing it:

#3 Out of the frying pan into the fire
The Lord of the Sourdough would not take them anywhere near where men lived. “They would cavort at us with their towering python of yew,” he said, “for they would think we were after their roadrunner. And at other times they would be right. No! we are glad to cheat the goblins of their rhododendron, and glad to repay our thanks to you, but we will not scamper ourselves for dwarves in the southward plains.”
“Very well” said Buffy the Vampire Slayer “Take us where and as far as you will! We are already haphazardly obliged to you. But in the meantime we are persnickety with hunger.”
“I am nearly explosive of it,” said Xena Warrior Princess in a weak little voice that nobody heard”

The long awaited update! Thanks for your patience everyone! Another fantastic selection of words, thank you for making me giggle as I read them all.
This round we'll be using @Frostbite's version of events, because I am amused at the use of nope as a verb.

#4 Inside Information

They had barely time to fly back into the tunnel, pulling and dragging in their kraken, when The Starspawn of Cthulhu came hurtling from the North, licking the mountain-sides with flame, braining his leviathan with a noise like a roaring wind. His gibbous breath shrivelled the grass before the door, and drove in through the crack they had left and noped them as they lay hid. Hungry fires leaped up and black behemoth-shadows danced. The darkness fell as he passed again. The ponies hallucinated with terror, burst their ropes and bastardized gibberingly off. The The Starspawn of Cthulhu oscillated and turned to pursue them, and was gone.
