I like that you addressed the whole "What's to stop the villain from just killing the hostage after you give them everything" problem. It always bugs me when that happens.
Not that anything is actually stopping Tirek from just killing them anyway. He just reminded us that he is a lying liar who lies.
TBF, the only people he's actually hurt after being weakened were the Alicorns. He's not really the time to hurt those he doesn't perceive as a threat.
<I>"And Discord."</I>
I snort-giggled so hard! XD
When you have a lot of characters in a scene, it can be easy to forget who all are there. In my Saturday group, this can sometimes be the rogue, which in hindsight is probably to her advantage, all things considered.

Maybe, but that's not why Discord is the plus one in this situation. He's... not popular.
Well, not quite that either. He's surprised that Twilight's player would give up everything for her friends. That's something Discord's player would not consider.
I recall a superhero from Grrl Power who goes by the name of X, whose power is to be forgettable and invisible unless specifically pointed out. He works for the government doing spy stuff, including tailing certain questionable individuals.
For some reason that "my friends... and Discord" brought "my friends... and Zoidberg" to mind.
This is very much a "I'll believe it when I see it" moment.
yeah a player sacrifice his power it's not common in games, I get why DM Discord was surprise.
I have to appreciate the concept of a "victory rampage."
"Hey Tirek! You just got every last thaum of magic on the continent! What are you going to do now?"
"I'm going to blow up Disneyworld!"

Hold the phone..."alicorn magic", Twilight says specifically. But isn't she also holding unicorn, pegasus, and Earth pony magic?
As far as I know, that IS alicorn magic. A combination of all three that is more than the sum of its parts. I would have liked to see Applejack teach her earth pony traits in addition to Rainbow teaching her flying.
How's it going to be delivered, though? At velocity directly to Tirek's face?
