1. Sound epic. Jester will most definitely prefer to die with honor. It's hard to think the heroic thing to do is to kill your protagonist. You're doing it better than what Shakespear tried to do in Macbeth (i always saw Shakespear as highly overrated), but still. I can see most people crying when Jester die with a smile.

2. The phrase "cruel mercy" is weird. As i see it, the right word is "pity". Mercy are polar opposite to cruelty by the very definition. Pity is what people feel about hungry children in Africa. Mercy is what you feel about poor people whom you go to their aid. But i see your point.

3. Since most "i forgive you. Now fuck out of here" moment are geniune (Simba forgiving Scar, my hero forgiving the villain and so on), some villain's decision to do another attempt on the life of the same person who gave them one last chance to escape and never to be seen again makes them too dumb to live. Plot-wise it's essential, because i wanted to emphatize the hero as pure soul and the villain as a living example to the phrase "evil is a form of stupidity" (like with many pure evil people, intelligent as they might be).

4. Who do you picture as Gilgamesh? Currently i think about Idris Elba.
