Epics are difficult to retell with just the fun fighting parts, but Godric tries to work around it at the end.

He reties the band around his wrist idly, seeing the board done and wrapping up the story. "Of course, the two men slayed the Bull of Heaven, and defied Ishtar to her face by throwing pieces of the mutilated bull at her. I'm certain you can imagine how that displeased her. They rejoiced in their victory together, having fought as one for a common goal. The people of Uruk celebrated, but Ishtar put a terrible curse on Gilgamesh. She would not be shamed in such a way by these two men.

"Weeks later, Enkidu dreamed of the underworld. It was premonition that would come true, and in days Enkidu lay dying a terrible sickness. When he passed, Gilgamesh was inconsolable. He had lost a friend and companion, the only one he saw as an equal."
