Golden Sun/Side Scripts/Kalay

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
Left soldier at entrance Welcome to Kalay! You may enter, so long as you do not disrupt the peace. ''Hmm... This young warrior has honest eyes and a good demeanor.'' A man like that is never evil.

Right soldier at entrance We soldiers protect the peace in Kalay with our lives. Our job requires us to judge whether to allow a visitor into Kalay.

Gray man near cemetery The bridge to the north was destroyed by lava. Thankfully, it has been rebuilt since then. Lord Hammet's soldiers went to Vault after the bridge was rebuilt. The palace has been very quiet ever since...

Southeast purple merchant People say Lord Hammet went north from Vault after Mt. Aleph erupted. No one knows what happened to him or his caravan after that. There are so many rumors now, no one knows what the truth is.

Southeast green merchant I can't put the rumors about Lord Hammet being captured by thieves out of my head... But the lord's wife, Layana, speaks little of it. I had no idea that Lunpa was just north of Vault. It's funny that a city of merchants would be so close to a city of thieves.

Young man walking around Lord Hammet, the founder of Kalay, is a great merchant. Lord Hammet's love for liberty and peace gave birth to this town.

Item shopkeeper Lady Layana shared in Lord Hammet's hardships when he built Kalay. Her love for this town is why we flourish. The aqueducts in Hammet Palace are another reason Kalay flourished.

Old man near well Kalay sits at a great crossroads. Xian lies east, and Tolbi west. This is the perfect place to do business. Hammet chose to build Kalay here because it's in a prime trading location. Lord Hammet truly is a smart man.

Old woman near well The guests at the inn are tourists on their way to see Colosso. It seems like a lot of hassle to travel to Tolbi just for a carnival. ''Actually... I wish I were going to Colosso.'' ''I should have saved my money. Then I'd be on that tour, too.''

Old woman near well (after tour group leaves) The people in the inn were tourists going to see the Colosso. All that fuss just to see a carnival in Tolbi! I don't get it. ''Actually... I wish I were going to Colosso.'' ''I should have saved my money. Then I'd be on that tour, too.''

Woman at well I heard a rumor that there's trouble in Lamakan Desert. Strange things have been happening all across the land lately... What is the world coming to?

Inspect well Isaac peered into the well... It is a very clean, well-maintained well.

Northwest bald man I came to Kalay because I didn't like Tolbi... You want to know why? [Yes] Because Babi, the ruler of Tolbi, frightens me. He has ruled Tolbi for more than a hundred years, they say. [No] Kalay is a much better town than Tolbi. I won't go back. The difference between Kalay and Tolbi is their leaders. Lord Hammet rules with trust, while Lord Babi rules with force.

Muscle-man at armor shop Lord Hammet's knack for business is the reason Kalay has flourished. Lord Hammet is a very honest man, who values trust above all. That's probably why he's so respected.

Northeast blonde lady Lord Hammet is still out with his caravans on business. I wonder where he could be now. Despite his appearance, Lord Hammet can be very rash. That's why I'm worried.

Girl at northern fountains A huge mountain north of the river erupted violently. I think it was called Mt. Aleph. During the volcano's eruption, odd gems and rocks fell from the sky.

Boy at northern fountains I hear Colosso is incredible. I'd love to see such a huge carnival. Maybe when I'm older, I'll even get to go fight in Colosso!

Great Healer You can live in peace in Kalay, as long as you practice good will. I came here to spread good will... But Lord Hammet seems to be the source of all their good will. This is not good...

Weapon shopkeeper Lord Hammet sells all his best weapons elsewhere. These weapons are good, but they're not the best Kalay makes. We would be able to make more money if he left more good weapons here.

Man in southeast house The most important skill for a merchant is the ability to discern quality. Anyone who can do that can be a successful merchant these days. The most important thing is not to betray your customer's trust in you. Lord Hammet's lessons are more precious to me than treasure. They will make me a lot of money!

Old woman in southeast house My son received his knack for business from Lord Hammet. My son is very tight with money, even when it comes to me. ''I feel like I am living with a merchant... Actually, he is one!''

Inspect oven in southeast house Isaac looked in the oven... It's a Kalay salad with cucumber and yogurt. I can't imagine what it tastes like!

Young man in northwest house I'm shocked to hear the righteous thieves of Lunpa have gone bad. They say Lunpa's grandson is responsible for it. The region north of Vault was once a safe place... but nowadays it is very dangerous.

Blonde lady in northwest house Lunpa was a kind thief. His son is Donpa—he's an honorable thief, too. He stole, but he was just. Lunpa's grandson, Dodonpa, is another story. He doesn't even think twice about doing evil... Lunpa's reputation is very bad nowadays.

Inspect oven in northwest house Isaac looked in the oven... She's toasting some bread. It smells great.

Inspect oven in armor shop Isaac looked in the oven... It's pickles with garlic. The pickle is popular in Kalay, but no one knows why...

Armor shopkeeper Did you find what you needed in the Weapon Shop? [Yes] Then you'll like our armor, too. [No] Ah... You seek only the finest items. Kalay's weapons and armor are without equal. Weapons and armor from Tolbi may be stronger, but ours have soul.

Man walking inside lower floor of northeast building No one is allowed to go to Vault, even though the bridge has been rebuilt. But I doubt it's because of the eruption of Mt. Aleph. ''I'm an adult, now. I don't want my father ordering me around...''

Old man standing inside lower floor of northeast building I do not want my son to face any danger. I am actually grateful for Lady Layana's orders. ''I don't care how my son feels. I can't allow him to go north.''

Gray man in upper floor of northeast building Somehow, the north has become the center of much attention lately. Why is that? ''Three years ago, thieves raided Mt. Aleph... It was quite a story.'' Ever since, the north lost its reputation for being a safe place.

Woman in upper floor of northeast building A merchant from Vault had been saying many things about the north... Then the soldiers came and took him to Lord Hammet's Palace. They say other northern parts are dangerous too. Maybe our town is the only place that's still safe.

Old woman near entrance inside inn Many of the guests here seem to be heading to Tolbi. ''Colosso is so...common. What's so great about it?''

Bald man in inn Surely Lord Hammet will pop up in Tolbi. He loves Colosso. ''I was so excited, I couldn't sleep last night. But I have to keep cool.'' I don't want anyone to know this is my first time at Colosso.

Warrior in inn Aren't you going to Colosso? You guys are warriors! All warriors dream of winning fame in Colosso! I'm going to sign up for Colosso as soon as I arrive in Tolbi. There may be more like me, though.

Orange-haired lady in inn The Colosso gladiators are all strong, muscular men! ''I wonder which warrior will win Colosso this year. I can't wait!''

Old man in inn I would have entered Colosso if I were only a little younger. What a shame. My animal instincts start waking up as soon as I see the Colosso battles!

Purple merchant in inn Everyone looks forward to going to Tolbi once a year. Tolbi has many spots to visit besides Colosso, like Tolbi Springs. I'm exhausted from preparing this tour. I can't wait until I'm in Tolbi and I can rest a bit...

Green merchant in inn Please finish eating if you are taking the tour! We'll be leaving soon! It's business, so you can't help it, but many of these folk aren't used to traveling.

Innkeeper (mandatory interaction) Are you going to Tolbi also? [Yes] Oh, so you must be taking the Colosso tour, too...  The annual Colosso festival starts in Tolbi soon. [No] Merchants are always coming up with new ideas. A Colosso tour... Ha! They're meeting in the restaurant... It must be time for them to leave. He's a shrewd merchant if he can turn travel into a business. I'm impressed that he's got so many customers.

Chef at inn I've signed on for a tour group going to Tolbi. I can't believe it's almost time for Colosso to begin! ''Joining a tour group is the only way to travel. Every need is cared for.''

Innkeeper's wife Everyone is going to Tolbi to see the Colosso carnival there. Kalay will feel so empty. ''Every year, everyone goes to Tolbi for Colosso. We can't help that...''

Left Laliveran man in southwest room downstairs in inn We fled from Gondowan, to the south. We lived in Lalivero, which was a great village until the Tolbians came. ''I fled all this way. Now I won't get in trouble for speaking the truth.'' How wonderful it is to be free!

Right Laliveran man in southwest room downstairs in inn Lalivero, where I'm from, is the largest village in Gondowan. Kalay is quite large, too, but it's a little too noisy around here. It looks like Colosso will soon begin in Tolbi. All this fuss just to go to a festival seems kind of ridiculous!

Young man in southeast room downstairs in inn Do you know about the continent south of Tolbi? [Yes] The guest next door is dressed like he comes from Gondowan. [No] That continent is called Gondowan. It is very large. They say that it is the second largest continent next to Angara. I hear it is very warm in Gondowan. People from the continent south of Angara have rich, bronze skin.

Blonde lady in southeast room downstairs in inn I better get ready! The Colosso Tour is about to leave! We're going all the way to Tolbi to see the Colosso. I hope we can visit the southern continent, too. I'm pretty excited, because this is my first time visiting Tolbi. Let's hurry up and get going!

Sean We're so strong, making the finals will be a piece of cake! Then, Ouranos and I will fight each other for the championship. ''We are the toughest of all warriors. We will never lose.''

Ouranos If you are entering Colosso, you don't stand a chance of winning... because this year, both of us are entering. ''I have power, and Sean has speed. Together, we have nothing to fear.''

Old woman near entrance inside inn (after tour group leaves) Uh-oh. He's still here, even though his group has left! ''I can't seem to relax, now that everyone is gone. Maybe I should go back...''

Innkeeper (after tour group leaves) Our inn feels so empty, now that the Colosso tour group has left. I'd have gone on the Colosso Tour if I knew business would be so slow.

Innkeeper's wife (after tour group leaves) Even our chef left, so we can't keep our business open. Not that it matters. We will have few customers until Colosso ends. Even if my husband wanted to go on the Colosso tour, I would ''never let him. There's no telling what he'd do without me watching him.''

Left Laliveran man in southwest room downstairs in inn (after tour group leaves) We came here to escape the southern lands, but this city is so strange. Everyone is leaving for some carnival. I've never seen anything like it! ''I wonder what Colosso is like. Is it really that great?'' ''Wait... I didn't flee Lalivero to go to Tolbi.''

Right Laliveran man in southwest room downstairs in inn (after tour group leaves) We escaped from the northeastern region of the southern continent. It is so quiet here now that everyone left... I feel relieved. I was so scared coming to Angara from Gondowan, where Lalivero is. Now I'm beginning to feel like I am truly free.

Hammet Palace (first visit)
Left soldier at palace gate The soldiers of Kalay will handle this matter ourselves. Please, go on with your journey, as Lady Layana requested. I'm worried about Lord Hammet, but Lady Layana insists we do nothing. I can only hope for Lord Hammet's safety...

Right soldier at palace gate We'll take care of this kidnapping incident just fine. You should continue on your quest. The warriors of Kalay will save Lord Hammet, no matter the toll.

Monocled servant Layana is putting up a strong front whenever people are around. It's so hard to see her like this. Lady Layana was crying again last night. I wish there were something I could do.

Right man in left wing of palace Merchants are supposed to be protected under the laws of Angara. Dodonpa must truly be evil to break such a law! ''And to think... I almost went on that caravan with Hammet!''

Left man in left wing of palace Has the legacy of Lord Hammet's silk trading come to an end? [Yes] How can you say that! Lady Layana would be devastated! [No] You're right. I never should have said that. I feel terrible now. ''Lord Hammet is a legend among merchants. Kalay can't survive without him.''

Inspect bookcase in left wing of palace Isaac searched the bookcase... There's a book entitled "Business and You." "Trust between two people is all-important for a successful business."

Inspect wardrobe in left wing of palace Isaac peeked into the wardrobe... There's a turban. It's the symbol of Kalay's soldiers.

Young man in right wing of palace The townsfolk don't know about Lord Hammet yet, do they? I'm sure the villagers would panic if they knew Hammet was a hostage... We must be sure we do not show it...

Blonde lady in right wing of palace Lord Hammet will be released soon. Right? [Yes] I hope so. Otherwise, Layana will be overwhelmed by sorrow. [No] It wouldn't hurt you to lie a little, you know! Everyone's worried about Lord Hammet, but no one can talk about it openly. If he isn't freed, it will mean the end of Kalay...

Inspect bookcase in right wing of palace Isaac searched the bookcase... There's a book entitled "The Good Host." "Attention to detail is key to good hospitality..."

Layana Dodonpa is a very shrewd man. He may have sent spies into Kalay. We can't risk sending our soldiers yet. ''Is this the right decision, Hammet? Am I making a mistake?''

Hammet Palace (post-Lunpa Fortress)
Monocled servant I left the door to the underground passage open, so go have a look. Layana ordered the door to the underground path opened. This represents our gratitude toward Isaac and his friends...for saving Hammet.

Right man in left wing of palace I wonder if any of Dodonpa's thugs have come here after Hammet... That is the only thing that really has me frightened. We will never let Dodonpa's henchmen get Hammet again...

Left man in left wing of palace The secret passage is locked because Hammet's treasure is in there. The key to the secret passage is also the key to Hammet's treasure room.

Young man in right wing of palace I hear Hammet was saved by you people... Thank you so much! I'm so relieved Hammet made it back safely.

Blonde lady in right wing of palace They say Hammet's return is supposed to be a secret for now. The villagers are worried, so I'd like to tell them, but we can't... I can't let on to the townspeople when I speak to them!

Bunza in Kalay Tunnel Layana was very hard on all of you, wasn't she? [Yes] I think she went too far, telling you all to leave...  But she is the one who most regrets parting with Ivan. [No] Her words were hard, but you know how painful they were for her to say. Layana will be very happy to hear that. ''The things beyond these doors belong to you all. Please take them!''

Layana No one in Kalay knows Hammet has returned. We will have to hide Hammet in the Palace for quite a while. I'm so happy Hammet made it back safely, I could cry... ''Isaac, Ivan... We all must thank you.''

Hammet Take your Shaman's Rod and set out for Hesperia. And...be careful. Layana's words pain her more than they can know. Surely, Isaac and his friends understand Layana's feelings.
