Ahh, actually yeah, either a forced save or 1HP and he walks off afterwards - either would work just fine. On the other hand, as far as saves are concerned, auto-saves are insanely useful, but your point still stands.
Either way, the effect should be that the player really shouldn't have engaged him. I just know nothing says that better than a Game Over screen. I know I hate those to death.
Found the fortunes, Cait only really gave three-fourish.
"...Ordinary luck. It will be an active fortune." "Give into the good will of others, and something big'll happen by summer." "Be careful of forgetfulness. Your lucky color is... blue?" "What you pursue will be yours. But you will lose something dear."
I'm not sure the forgetfulness one works (very Cloud-related because the plot of FF7 had a very big thing about Cloud having partial amnesia and false memories). The last one is CHARNAME's, but the rest can be random.
