Golden Sun/Side Scripts/Karagol Sea

These pages compile almost all incidental NPC dialogue, both spoken and accessed with Mind Read, that exist separately from the "main cutscenes" in. This can be used as a reference to more easily look up all optional gossip at each settlement in the game without painstakingly talking to each NPC and casting the Mind Read Psynergy on them. Some technically optional dialogue the player is very likely to read is omitted. All text in italics is conveyed through Mind Read.

Kalay Docks (before tour group arrives)
Young man walking at Kalay Docks Do you want to go to Tolbi? [Yes] You can't go any further along Silk Road. If you're going to Tolbi, you have to cross the Karagol Sea. [No] I see. Well then, how about taking a long look around the ship? With Silk Road closed, everyone will have to cross by ship. The captain stands to make a lot of money.

Woman standing at Kalay Docks Are you going to take the ship? [Yes] When you reach Tolbi, please pass a message to my daughter. Her mother says that tickets are too expensive and she can't go there. [No] Is that so? Well, then I guess I'll ask someone else then. We've spent a year planning this trip, and now this happens.

Blue man walking at Kalay Docks You can't take Silk Road much further than this. Everyone who goes to check gives up and comes back. ''Well, isn't this great! We can't take Silk Road, and Colosso is starting!'' ''My daughter left Tolbi to meet us at the docks. I'm really sad about this.''

Blonde lady at Kalay Docks We can't take Silk Road, so everyone's in a pickle. It's too expensive to get a ticket on a ship. I can't believe how expensive tickets are. We've come this far, and we can't take Silk Road. Well, it's too late for us to turn back.

Blue-capped sailor at Kalay Docks The ship will be open until the tourists arrive. Feel free to look around. ''The captain's in a good mood. That's why he opened the ship up.'' Everything's going great.

Red-capped sailor at Kalay Docks Today there are supposed to be lots of tourists on the ship. We're not going to check the tickets until the tour group gets here. The captain's in a good mood today because we have so many passengers.

Ticketer at ticket building Hand in your ticket at the ship's plank. If you've already bought your ticket, hurry up and board the ship.

Old man at ticket building Hmmm, that's strange. Isn't the replacement ship here yet? ''The ship won't leave here till the next ship arrives. That's how it works.'' I doubt that we'll set sail before the other one gets here.

Old woman at ticket building Once we've crossed the Karagol, we'll reach Tolbi. Ohh, I'm excited. ''Let's get going! I'm not getting any younger...'' Or is my husband thinking of giving up on Colosso this year?

Blue-capped sailor on deck There are a lot of passengers... I wonder if we'll be able to set sail. Really, it makes me wonder. The replacement ship from Tolbi should have been here by now... Do you think something happened while they were crossing the Karagol?

Kaja I wonder if there are any other reliable warriors around. If we don't set sail now, you would be admitting you were afraid, Kaja... ''That won't happen. I won't let that happen.''

Blue-capped sailor taking with captain But we can't send the ship out without hiring some warriors. ''Sending out a ship when it's this dangerous... It's like setting out to die.''

Captain It's too late to hire mercenaries now... There's no time. ''This is a chance to make some money. It'd really be a waste to pass it up.''

North green-capped sailor belowdecks We can leave as soon as we get our orders. ''Enough is enough! Let's set off!''

Upper-left oarsman among north group Rowing is a man's job! Everyone down here gets so competitive.

Upper-right oarsman among north group We're the ones who make the ship move. These big muscles are a sign that we're oarsmen.

Lower-left oarsman among north group Once we cast off, you just leave the rest to us. We'll see to it that they all have a pleasant voyage!

Lower-right oarsman among north group You can only do hard work like this while you're young. You've got to save up lots of cash before you get too old to row...

South green-capped sailor belowdecks Everyone rows in time with this drum. I love it when the oars move in rhythm to my drum.

Upper-left oarsman among south group Hmmm. I wonder when we're going to launch... I don't feel like rowing all the way to the coast of Tolbi today. I wonder if this is what a bad premonition feels like.

Upper-right oarsman among south group I can't wait until we get to Tolbi and I can stretch my wings. Spend your money while you're young enough to enjoy it! That's the manly thing to do.

Lower-left oarsman among south group I hear there's an isle in the middle of the Karagol, but I've never seen it. ''It seems like there would be buried treasure... It's that kind of island.''

Lower-right oarsman among south group From the sea, it looks like Silk Road is totally flooded. ''Ha hah! If you want to go to Tolbi, get on the ship!''

Tolbi-bound Ship
Bald man up north on deck The Karagol is like a humongous lake, surrounded by land. So there are no waves, but the water is salty, just like a real ocean. ''The Karagol Sea is pretty foggy today. Maybe that's why I'm so uneasy.''

Chef on deck I wonder what's going on. We've been waiting an awfully long time. Traveling by ship is faster than walking; there's no need to rush.

Orange-haired lady on deck I wonder if I'm the only one here who's going to Tolbi to see Colosso... Most of the people going to Colosso set out a long time ago.

Green merchant on deck If we don't leave soon, Colosso will start without us! Will you accept full responsibility for being late to Colosso? ''Hmmm. This is so frustrating...'' Why won't anyone tell me what's going on?

Yellow-capped sailor on deck I told you, we're leaving soon. We'll set sail when our replacement arrives! ''"When are we going? When are we going?" This guy's really pushy.''

Captain on deck We apologize for any trouble that this delay has caused. Please relax and enjoy the trip. We will be setting sail very shortly. There is nothing to fear as long as we have our anchor charm. Are we still getting ready to set sail?

Blue-capped sailor on deck (after he exits the captain's quarters) Oh! At the risk of sounding repetitive, I didn't do anything! I hid the anchor charm... No one would ever look on top of the mast.

Healer inside cabin I'm spreading goodwill wherever I travel. Even though I'm opposed to violence, I'm looking forward to Colosso.

Young man in cabin Apparently, we can't take Silk Road like we'd planned. So I guess we're the only passengers who could afford the tickets. They're just taking advantage of us, selling those tickets for so much money.

Blonde lady in cabin There's a whole bunch of really muscular men on the floor below. Those people are rowing the oars so the ship moves, right? ''Muscles rippling everywhere... looks great!'' If we go to Colosso, there'll be more guys built like that, right?

Old man in cabin You're going to Tolbi to see Colosso, too, right? Once you've seen Colosso, you won't want to go to a regular festival. ''We left the old lady back home. Now we can take our time at Colosso.''

Warrior in cabin The longer we sit here, the more time we have to think. I wonder what happened... with our participation in Colosso. Maybe I should just forget about going...

Bald man up north on deck (after warriors go to the captain's quarters) Ha hah! Those mercenaries are going to yell at the captain for us! ''Those guys seem pretty sure of their fighting skills. They can do it.''

Chef on deck (after warriors go to the captain's quarters) Those warriors got tired of waiting, so they went to see the captain. ''Those thugs are too impatient... Trying to launch the ship by force.''

Orange-haired lady on deck (after warriors go to the captain's quarters) I wonder if those two are planning on taking over the ship. ''Hee hee. If we can get moving, I don't care what it takes. I say, go for it!''

Green merchant on deck (after warriors go to the captain's quarters) They can't be planning a mutiny...  ''They were just about to launch the ship when... They're awful.''

Yellow-capped sailor on deck (after warriors go to the captain's quarters) Somebody stop them...  ''Using force to launch the ship? That's going too far...''

Blue-capped sailor in captain's quarters (while Anchor Charm is missing) If the ship from Tolbi had come, I'd feel differently, but at this point, I'm not setting sail! Hmmm... I wonder where that anchor charm went. ''I waited too long... I'll get in trouble if I don't come clean.'' I have to confess that I hid it on top of the mast.

Purple merchant in captain's quarters I had no idea he was so superstitious. I thought he was joking...  ''I don't think anyone would steal that charm... I bet we find it right away.''

Ouranos I can't believe him... Refusing to leave because of one charm? ''That thing couldn't have gotten lost on its own... Did somebody hide it?''

Sean in captain's quarters You came to ask the captain to set sail, right? [Yes] If we had worked together, we'd be out at sea right now. But it's too late now... Because of that charm, we're not going anywhere. [No] Heh heh... In that case, why don't you take a tour of the ship? I may need a hand from you later. I hope you'll help me out. If the ship doesn't leave soon, we might miss Colosso.

Kaja in captain's quarters Right when we found some warriors to protect the ship... Great...  ''This is ridiculous... The ship can't set sail because of a good luck charm?''

Captain in his quarters Oh, of all the bad luck...losing my lucky charm! This ship can't leave until we find it! The ship won't leave dock until we find that anchor charm. Maybe we should forget about setting off.

Captain in his quarters (after Anchor Charm is given) We don't know what might happen before we arrive. Be ready for anything. As long as we have the anchor charm, we have nothing to fear!

Yellow-capped sailor on deck Now that we have you to protect the ship, we ought to be leaving soon. But I think it might be tough to get the other passengers to row... Are you serious about setting sail? I heard a sailor say he'd seen the shadows of monsters in the water. Isn't this going to be a little dangerous?

Orange-haired lady on deck I'll agree to anything, even rowing the ship, if it means we'll finally leave the dock! ''Besides, rowing is a man's job... Leave me out of it.''

Chef on deck If we just promise to help row, the ship will set sail, right? It's pretty easy to make a promise. Ultimately, they're just being threatened into helping, right? No matter what happens, I won't force the passengers to work.

Green merchant on deck We'll have to make them promise to help row before we can set sail. Hopefully, it won't come to that, though. It probably won't make any difference if I make them promise to row... I just hope we don't have to refund their money at the end of the trip.

Bald man on deck That sea dog Kaja is a little scary, so everyone agreed to help row. But fighting up here suits me better than rowing down below! ''Us? Help with the rowing? Get serious!'' There's no way we'd ever do such hard work.

Blue-capped sailor at crow's nest I'll watch the seas. You guys help Kaja and his crew with any monsters. ''Yow! Those guys keep staring at me...'' I wonder if they figured out I was the one who hid the anchor.

Healer in cabin The ship's crew is ready for anything, and I'll be right here for them. Ask the others to do the rowing. I can't row, but I am hoping for the ship's safe arrival.

Purple merchant in cabin You all agreed to help of your own accord. That's why I'd like your total cooperation when the time comes! Asking the passengers to help out with the rowing... This trip is going to be plagued with problems.

Old man in cabin I never thought I'd get to be this age and end up having to row a boat! ''Well, shoot! Maybe we should have just stayed in Kalay.''

Warrior in cabin These proud warriors are not going to like being told to row. What do you think? You guys wanna trade jobs? [Yes] You look so scary... You say you want to trade, but it's not that easy. I see. Sure, why don't you take over the rowing. [No] I figured you'd say that. Fine. Rowing is fine with me. If something happens to our oarsmen, we'll need the help. If that happens, we'll help out as warriors.

Young man in cabin All that money on tickets, and now we have to row the ship? Madness! Do they honestly think I'm going to help row the ship?

Blonde lady in cabin Are you going to row? [Yes] Hmmm. So, you have to row, even though you're a fighter, huh? [No] Oh. Helping to protect the ship suits you better, doesn't it? Oh well, it doesn't matter. It's not going to happen. I'm sure it'd be easier to protect the ship than it would be to row.

Top red-capped sailor belowdecks (with monsters nearby) If you don't do a better job protecting us, there won't be any oarsmen left! ''Please! Just stay here and protect me!''

Upper-left red-capped sailor belowdecks Fighting off the monsters is your job. Hurry up and take care of 'em! If the sea monsters get us, we won't be able to keep rowing.

Red-capped sailor above left green-capped one Curses! I want to smack that monster with my oar. ...But if my oar breaks, I won't be able to row... The sea monsters are so tough, a blow from an oar wouldn't leave a mark.

Left green-capped sailor Monsters from the deep are attacking, just as the captain feared! Why aren't you doing anything to stop that monster?

Shaking red-capped sailor Foul beast! I may be trembling... But I'm trembling with anticipation! Go get 'em, Isaac! ''I'm scared. Those sea monsters are terrifying. Mommy!''

Red-capped sailor left of lower-right green-capped one If I weren't so tired, I'd beat down those monsters without breaking a sweat! ''Fighting sea monsters is for warriors. I want nothing to do with it!''

Lower-right green-capped sailor Curse those beasts! They got one of our oarsmen! If we lose any more oarsmen, it will slow the ship.

Lower-left red-capped sailor Who is that thing going to grab next? ''I don't care who else the monster gets... Just save me!''

Lower-right red-capped sailor We oarsmen may be strong, but we're no match for sea monsters! We don't even know if attacking the beasts will do any good.

Healer in cabin (while searching for replacement oarsman) The ship's crew is ready for anything, and I'll be right here for them. Ask the others to do the rowing. Is this cruel ordeal part of some plan fate has in store for me?

Sean It looks like another oarsman was injured... We have to pick a replacement from among the passengers. We have no idea when those sea monsters might attack again. ''Curses! I won't let them have their way with us any longer!''

Ouranos I feel sorry for the oarsmen who were injured. Let's see to it that no one else gets hurt, OK, Isaac? ''Uhnnn. When I look at the water, I feel sick.'' I wonder how long I can fight in this condition...

Yellow-capped sailor on deck You must feel awfully important, ordering people around like this! I have a job to do. I can't row! An oarsman was injured by a sea monster? I'm just glad I'm not the one who has to take his place!

Blue-capped sailor at crow's nest So, some oarsmen were injured, huh? No, no, I'm the lookout. You need to ask someone else. ''The lookout? But the sea is so vast, how can you spot anything?''

Captain in his quarters An oarsman was injured? There's no time to worry. We must escape the waters of the Karagol! We knew the risks when we set out... But it always hurts to see a crewman get injured.

Upper-right green-capped sailor (while ship is rocking) Imagine the size of that beast! Is it even possible to slay such a thing? ''Why is he down here? Shouldn't he be fighting the monsters on deck?''

Red-capped sailor with chosen replacements Judging from Kaja's reaction, it must be a fearsome beast...  ''What kind of monster is rocking this ship? I really want to go take a look...''

Upper-left red-capped sailor among lower group Kaja wouldn't ask for help unless it was serious. We're running low on oarsmen, and I'm getting nervous.

Upper-right red-capped sailor among lower group The whole ship is rocking! That monster must be gigantic! I'm taking a little break until they've defeated the sea monsters.

Lower-left red-capped sailor among lower group We're okay. With you here, we can handle anything. Good thing we have some strong fighters on this ship.

Lower-right red-capped sailor among lower group If the ship sinks, we're finished. I wonder if the monster is big enough to sink the ship.

Green-capped sailor at bottom end How can these sea monsters keep coming one after the other. ''What the...? How many monsters does this make?''

Green-capped sailor at northeast end (Crossbone Isle detour) I've been sailing for many years, and I've never seen this island! It's crazy to have inexperienced passengers rowing the ship.

Upper-left red-capped sailor among lower group I wonder if it's okay to leave the ship here... I sure hope another monster doesn't attack...

Upper-right red-capped sailor among lower group Stopping again and again like this is harder than rowing all day long. Looks like I'm going to have sore muscles for the first time in a while...

Lower-left red-capped sailor among lower group Let's see, islands in the Karagol Sea... Hmmm...just thinking. Could this be that island that's rumored to have buried treasure? Even if it is, I'm too scared of monsters to leave the ship.

Lower-right red-capped sailor among lower group When we're rowing, we can just sit and space out, but... It makes me nervous, just sitting here and not rowing. Maybe it's time for me to retire...

Green-capped sailor at bottom end Wow! I have a blister on my drumming hand... It was hard for me all the way across the sea.

Healer inside cabin (Crossbone Isle detour) I hate arguing... In a perfect world, there wouldn't be any monsters waiting to pounce on me...

Orange-haired lady I don't feel so well.. Don't talk to me... Ohh, that's creepy...

Purple merchant I don't hear the passengers screaming to get off the boat. So...anyone know if there are any monsters out there?

Young man If there are monsters, I'm not going anywhere. Just don't make me face that disgusting Kraken again...

Old man The ship keeps shaking... She can't take much more! I want to plant my feet firmly on land! I've been wobbling on this boat for so long I can hardly stand!

Blonde lady Why should we have to wait on this tiny boat? ''Go ahead, try and stop me! I'm going ashore!!!''

Warrior There could be monsters here, so leaving the ship might be dangerous. Land monsters, I can handle; sea monsters are all slimy and icky...

Bald man We've been cooped up on that ship too long. We're near land, so let us stretch our legs! ''I'm sick of this ship... I'm going ashore.''

Green merchant You can't go onto the island! It's too dangerous! What if there are monsters? ''What to do... I'm worried about the passenger's safety,''

Chef But there were monsters at sea, so shouldn't it be safer on land? but why should we stay onboard when there's land right in front of us?

Yellow-capped sailor on deck Kaja and the captain are professionals. We ought to trust them and wait, like they said. I want to be a sailor like Kaja, reading the wind and the waves...

Blue-capped sailor at crow's nest Be careful—there could be monsters anywhere around here. You'd be surprised, the kinds of treasure you can find on islands like these.

Kaja We're looking into the ship's position. It'll be a bit longer. ''The wind's direction and the high seas... We've got to be close to Tolbi.''

Captain We may have taken the wrong route, but we've made a lot of progress. I'm really surprised that there is an island like this in the Karagol Sea.

Sean (before being talked to) ''I give up! What are we supposed to do?''

Ouranos (before being talked to) That's enough bickering...

Sean (before Isaac steps onto Crossbone Isle) There's no telling what kind of monsters are lurking on this island... Be extremely careful! This island gives me the creeps...

Ouranos (before Isaac steps onto Crossbone Isle) We've done a good job of keeping the ship safe so far! Isaac, you can leave everything to us while you're away. What we can do now is to protect this ship...

Tolbi Docks (first visit)
Kaja on ship You lookin' for Sean and Ouranos? They left for Tolbi with that tour. I figure they're headed for Colosso. I want Sean and Ouranos to do well at Colosso this year, but they don't stand a chance if Isaac enters the contest.

Blue-capped sailor Are you headed for Colosso, too? [Yes] I thought so. Most people coming at this time of year usually are. There was this group of six we ferried across a while back. Now they were strange. [No] You came all this way, and you're not going to Colosso? That old guy's group, those six weirdos, and now you...  You guys are strange! I'm just going to hang out in Tolbi and enjoy myself for a while.

Yellow-capped sailor This group that came on our last voyage pulled some strange stunts. Actually, I was sorta spying on them. I wonder what happened to that strange group that went on to Tolbi.

Healer in cabin It is good that the ship has arrived safely. ''We made it to Colosso in time... That's good.''

Right green-capped sailor belowdecks You folks really fought well. I'm just glad the Kraken didn't hurt me.

Left green-capped sailor belowdecks I don't think anyone will be crossing the Karagol for a while... The oarsmen won't work for us anymore. We can't find anyone to replace our old oarsmen.

Upper-left red-capped sailor A lot of oarsmen were injured on this voyage. Nobody's going to want to row until things calm down in the Karagol Sea. Sure, the pay's good, but it doesn't mean a thing if you get hurt on the job.

Upper-right red-capped sailor Are we safe? It's all because you defeated those monsters! Isaac and his pals we're so daring, fighting back there.

Lower-left red-capped sailor I've been an oarsman all my life, but this last job was the worst ever! ''I feel better now. I was just so scared when I was rowing.''

Lower-right red-capped sailor You go on ahead. Just when it looked like everything was all right, my back went out, and now I can't move. ''I'm in no rush, anyway... This might be the last time I get on a ship.''

Captain in his quarters When the waters are this dangerous, you just can't take to the seas. I think I'll check out Colosso while we think about what to do next. ''See? Our ship survived an attack and crossed the sea safely.'' It just proves how effective that lucky anchor really is!

Yellow-capped sailor blocking ship I hear you had a scary trip. You even got attacked by a monster! [Yes] I wonder why the sea is so dangerous all of a sudden...  [No] And you fought off all those monsters alone? ...No way! Everyone knows that Kaja was the one who killed the Kraken! I guess we won't be seeing anyone back home in Angara for a while.

Green-capped sailor Sigh... I think we're done sailing for a while. We've already lost one ship... What else can we do? I think that missing ship must have run into the Kraken...

Blonde lady waiting at pier Thank you for giving me the message from my parents. ''It was a hard crossing... Very risky. I'm glad they didn't come...''

Young man walking around The tourists look a little upset. Did they get seasick? [Yes] The sea was calm, but that monster sure gave them a rough ride. [No] The ship was attacked by monsters? It came within inches of sinking? Wow! After seeing the looks on the passengers' faces, I don't feel like waiting for my ship anymore.

Gray man outside ticket building It's been quite some time since the Colosso Tour passengers left for Tolbi. ''You crossed the sea just for Colosso? ...That was a big undertaking!''

Woman outside ticket building If you're going to Tolbi, keep heading west. It's not too far. I get the feeling that it will be a long time before the next sea crossing.

Old man in ticket building We rented out our house for Colosso, and now the ship's not launching! If the ship isn't crossing, we can't take our trip! Maybe we'll stay here until the ship leaves.

Old woman in ticket building We rented out our house. If the ship won't sail, where will we sleep? Are we supposed to sleep on the floor until they set sail again?

Ticketer at ticket building I'm sorry, but we just can't sell any tickets right now. The sea is too dangerous, so we've had to cancel all crossings. ''Sigh. We could have made lots of money on those tickets. Bad luck, I guess.''

Tolbi Docks (after Colosso)
Young man lying on ground To heck with you! I'm staying right here until the ship leaves! If I'm going to be stuck here, I should find work and make some money.

Blonde lady near man on ground Sigh. I wonder when we'll be able to return to Kalay. ''Grrr! Why don't you get up off your back and do something!''

Purple merchant Tour groups should take care of you from start to finish, but... it's not our fault the ship won't sail, so we can't offer any refunds. If they'd just let the ship sail, the passengers would stop complaining.

Green merchant We'll be counting on you if something comes up again, Master. As long as you're here, we can stay without being yelled at!

Bald man As long as we're stuck here, I might as well make some cash as a bodyguard. ''This tour wasn't well organized. That's why I have to provide security.'' I have conflicting feelings about protecting them.

Old man Sigh. If I knew it would turn out like this, we wouldn't have come. I wonder if Grandma is doing okay now...

Green-capped sailor Hanging around here like this and staring out at the sea is boring! If Kaja and the others say it's okay, I'd like to head out to sea again.

Yellow-capped sailor There are many here who want to return to Kalay since Colosso is over. But the ships won't sail without the captain's order. If both the captain and Kaja say the ship's not sailing, it's not.

Woman inside ticket building The Karagol Sea looks so calm from here. How can it be dangerous? The marine-blue Karagol Sea is such a romantic sight to behold! ''It really takes me back, and I get all sentimental. Sniff...''

Gray man inside ticket building Yeah...the ship's not going anywhere for now. Some rich guy was here throwing money around, but they still said no. ''The captain must be a stubborn man. With so much money to be made,'' ''I can't believe he won't sail... Who cares how dangerous it is?''

Ticketer at ticket building I'm stuck... I want to cross the Karagol, but the ships won't set sail. ''We've got passengers, but nobody's sailing. How can we sell any tickets?''

Kalay Docks (after Tolbi-bound Ship sequence)
Ticketer at ticket building The ship won't be leaving here... There are too many monsters at sea. This ship isn't going anywhere for a while. ''Ahhh. I'm bored... When are we going out to sea again?''

Blue-capped sailor I'm glad I only work on the docks...but I am worried about the others. I wonder if monsters got everyone.

Red-capped sailor The ship hasn't returned, so we couldn't set off even if we wanted to. ''Oh ho ho! Without a ship, we can't do any business...''
