As for the Prisoner, Insight failed in her negotiations and she must be punished for it.

Understood. Within the comic, the Prisoner has stated humans are the insignificant toys to true horrors (p267). I have their goals in mind but will not share them here.

I don't really want to hear the answer because, spoilers, but what is the end game for the star gods? What brought about this arms race? Is it simply control or is there some sort of Dune-like golden path to preserve something or prevent their extinction? Or perhaps cause an extinction?

For star god levels of power? It's an arms race of technology, magic formulae, biochemistry, magically grown viruses, and it sometimes devolves to who can punch harder. In this world, the biggest resource of raw materials are people. Shortcuts in computing, energy, and production are built with people.

Who knew a (lawful evil?) prisoner star god could lie? I'm kind of curious how strategy and tactics evolved in this world of muscle wizards and spell throwers. Does anyone even bother with armor? Poison blades would probably be popular.

Insight is going for the kill. Her best move. But unless it severed the Prisoner's head, her best wouldn't have killed him. Taken at full force her attack would have forced him to do nothing but regenerate. Leaving him vulnerable with War Hound Crusher to protect him. Insight would hope her attack freed her owls, Ros Mei and Sa-nah. Not an advantageous position, but better than being on her knees.

Would that attack done some real damage or even killed Prisoner if he took it head on? Seems it's more potent than the fire spells she used to roast him earlier.
