The Search for Goldmane (pt.1) - Rabao
Zoriboh: Player name, I need your help again.
Zoriboh: Sanctia hasn't come back from Tavnazia, and her father and I are worried.
Zoriboh: She must still be looking for Goldmane, the bounty hunter I told you about.
Zoriboh: I want you to follow Sanctia and keep her out of trouble until she either finds him or gives up on her search.
:What do you say?
::I'll do it.
::I don't have time for babysitting.
Zoriboh: I know she's a handful, but you'll be well paid for your efforts.
Zoriboh: Oh, and give this to Sanctia when you find her.
Zoriboh: Chelvadurai wanted her to have it for her birthday.
Zoriboh: Bring her back safe.
:What do you say?
::I'll do it.
::I don't have time for babysitting.
Zoriboh: Too busy with your adventures to help anyone, huh?

Sanctia: It's the same as everywhere else. 
Everything in ruins...
Novice Moogle: All the villagers had to abandon their homes when the war begain, kupo.
Novice Moogle: And not so long ago the Wyrmking returned, causing all...this, kupopo.
Novice Moogle: I think we can safely assume there are no bounty hunters here. 
Let's get back to ground that's, well, on the ground, kupopo.
Novice Moogle: This is the territory of the Wyrmking. 
Even a moogle like me can't match the power of Bahamut.
Sanctia: No. 
I have to find Goldmane, no matter what.
Sanctia: I'm not leaving until I find some clues.
Novice Moogle: Kupopo?
Novice Moogle: Look, Sanctia, it's the adventurer that was searching for you, kupopo!
Novice Moogle: Have you come to make sure she's okay again, kupopo?
Sanctia: I see where this is going.
Sanctia: But I don't need your help. 
I have to be wary of people I don't know in this line of work.
Novice Moogle: I'm really sorry about this, kupopo.
Novice Moogle: We'll at least take the package you brought from Sanctia's dad, kupopo.
Sanctia: I don't need that either.
Novice Moogle: But, Sanctia! 
This poor adventurer has traveled across half the world to deliver this to you, kupopo!
Sanctia: Fine. 
If you find something around here that belonged to Goldmane, I'll take the package off your hands.
Novice Moogle: Why are you being so difficult, kupopo!?
Sanctia: I don't think I'm being difficult.

You open the trunk with the key!
Sanctia: Oooh!
Sanctia: I saw that! 
What did you find? Lemme see! 
Is it anything to do with Goldmane!?
Sanctia: A picture of three kids and...a letter.
Sanctia: Let's see here... 
This is from Naval Recruit Training Officer Vladinek, of the Bastokan navy.
Sanctia: That's it! 
Goldmane is under the protection of the Bastokan navy!
Sanctia: Since the navy is always at sea, no one can ever find him!
Sanctia: Right, so it's off to Bastok.
Novice Moogle: Just a... 
Hey, wait for me, kupopopopopo!
Novice Moogle: What about the package the adventurer brought, kupopo!?
The Search for Goldmane - Metalworks
Vladinek: I am Naval Recruit Training Officer Vladinek. 
What can I do for you?
Sanctia: Great! 
I finally found you!
Sanctia: You again? 
Why do you keep following me?
Sanctia: Whatever. I have to speak with Mister Vladinek.
Vladinek: Is there something I can help you with, young lady?
Sanctia: Yes. My name is Sanctia. 
I am searching for the bounty hunter Goldmane to ask him something very important.
Vladinek: Goldmane?
Sanctia: Yes. I have reason to believe he is being sheltered by the Bastokan navy.
Sanctia: And that he is paying for that protection with Atarefaunet's bounty.
Vladinek: Ahahaha. 
What an amusing idea.
Vladinek: The Bastokan navy is not for rent, my dear.
Vladinek: And I don't know anyone who could stand to live on one of our battleships for twenty years!
Sanctia: But... 
But the letter had your name...
Vladinek: I see. 
That old letter is the cause of all this.
Vladinek: Let me explain. 
I wrote that letter to Goldmane concerning another bounty hunter.
Sanctia: You mean Goldmane's partner, Ismenios Cutsilver?
Vladinek: Correct. 
Ismenios was the son of Praefactus Leonnel of the Bastokan navy, and a former student of mine.
Vladinek: Ismenios graduated from the Naval Recruit Training Barracks with the highest honors and the potential to become a talented commander.
Vladinek: Then one day, apparently unfulfilled by naval life, he declared he would leave Praefactus Leonnel's command to become a bounty hunter.
Vladinek: Praefactus Leonnel made no effort to track down his son.
Vladinek: But I had swung a sword alongside Leonnel in the Great War, and had gotten to know him well. 
I could tell he was hurting inside.
Vladinek: Along with Goldmane's cooperation, I convinced Ismenios that he should return to Bastok.
Novice Moogle: No matter the situation, parents always worry for their children, kupopo.
Sanctia: ...
Vladinek: But do you know the whole story, young lady?
Vladinek: Before his journey home, Ismenios Cutsilver lost his life during the capture of Atarefaunet.
Vladinek: The Musketeer investigation of the incident showed that Goldmane was responsible for Ismenios's death.
Vladinek: Praefactus Leonnel would never stoop to anything so juvenile as revenge. 
But he has never forgiven Goldmane.
Vladinek: So you see, there is no way the man you seek would be under the protection of the Bastokan navy.
Sanctia: Then where on Vana'diel could Goldmane be hiding...?
Vladinek: Well, now that you mention it...
Vladinek: There have been rumors of the remaining thugs of Atarefaunet's Band sniffing around for your elusive bounty hunter.
Vladinek: Whispers in dark corners have them on the trail of the owner of Purgonorgo Isle, one of the islands found in Bibiki Bay.
Sanctia: Purgonorgo Isle...
Sanctia: Thank you so much, Naval Officer Training Recruit Vladinek!
Novice Moogle: Training Recruit, kupopo...!? 
Sanctia!
The Search for Goldmane (pt.1) - Bibiki Bay
Novice Moogle: What have you done to Sanctia, kupopo!
Rohemolipaud: Only death awaits those who come in search of Goldmane.
Rohemolipaud: Another uninvited guest? 
Much blood will stain the sands this day...
The Search for Goldmane (pt.2) - Riverne - Site #A01
Novice Moogle: Oh, thank the Great Moogle! 
You defeated that horrible man, kupopo!
Novice Moogle: But where did the villain disappear to? 
Did he flee from you, kupopo?
Novice Moogle: I guess we're safe, then! 
A weird-looking Tarutaru helped Sanctia up, and carried her over there, kupopo!
Novice Moogle: I don't have any medicine to treat her wounds. 
You wouldn't happen to have any, would you, kupopo?
Novice Moogle: Sanctia! 
Player name was carrying medicine for your injuries. 
It was in the package that your father sent, kupopo!
Sanctia: The package from my father...?
Sanctia: Urrr... 
I've made a mess of everything. 
Please forgive me for all this trouble, Player name.
Novice Moogle: Are you feeling okay, kupopo?
Sanctia: Much better now, thanks.
Sanctia: Wow, that Goldmane is ready for anything... 
I guess he has been hiding here for twenty years.
Sanctia: But next time, I'm gonna make him listen to what I have to say...
Novice Moogle: You're not seriously thinking of going back there!? 
That bounty hunter goes too far, kupopo!
Novice Moogle: Anyone who would be this vicious to a defenseless girl is just cold-hearted and...
???: Mean!
???: Terrible!
???: Ugly!
Novice Moogle: Exactly! 
You don't need to learn anything from someone like that, kupopo!
Sanctia: My plan is set. 
I will become the best apprentice Goldmane ever had, and together we'll collect the bounties on the last members of Atarefaunet's Band!
???: If that's your goal, then you've already achieved it.
Sanctia: Huh?
Vukki-Chebukki: Didn't you know? 
The man you just defeated was a member of Atarefaunet's Band.
Sanctia: He was...?
Novice Moogle: He's gone for good, kupopo!?
Vukki-Chebukki: That blonde Elvaan was a brutal killer called Rohemolipaud.
Vukki-Chebukki: Looks like Atarefaunet's Band has finally found me. 
Rohemolipaud was probably watching to see I didn't leave the island.
Novice Moogle: Which would mean...
Sanctia: You're the legendary Goldmane!?
Novice Moogle: But wait a minute! 
This Tarutaru doesn't look anything like a "Goldmane" to me, kupopo!
Sanctia: Maybe the sea breeze has softened him up a little...?
Vukki-Chebukki: Who are you calling soft!? 
My nickname comes from the golden down on the neck of my old chocobo, Silver Comet.
Vukki-Chebukki: You see, when I jumped into the saddle you couldn't see me for the feathers...
Nomad Moogle: I'm still not convinced, kupopo.
Vukki-Chebukki: That's beside the point! 
I've given up the bounty hunter business. 
You've taken out the bad guy and it's time for you to leave.
Sanctia: Wait! 
You have to make me your appre--ow, ow, ow...
Vukki-Chebukki: Take it easy. 
The wound has not fully healed yet.
Vukki-Chebukki: And if you're thinking of becoming a bounty hunter, you better get used to scratches like that. 
Usually, the injuries are much worse...
Vukki-Chebukki: You could end up losing your family, like I did.
Sanctia: Are these your children in this picture?
Vukki-Chebukki: Where did you get that!?
Vukki-Chebukki: My beautiful kids... 
My lovely wife...
Vukki-Chebukki: Twenty years ago when Tavnazia was shrouded in the smoke and flames of war, I was chasing after Atarefaunet with my partner, Ismenios.
Vukki-Chebukki: All that chaos and confusion provided the perfect chance to catch him off guard.
Vukki-Chebukki: If I had been thinking straight, I would have realized that my wife and our three small children had no way to escape the battlefield our homeland had become.
Vukki-Chebukki: I was heaped with praise for the capture of Atarefaunet, and enough gil to buy this entire island. 
But the cost was too great.
Vukki-Chebukki: You have a loving family that cared enough to send you medicine and a personal bodyguard. 
You don't want to become a despicable mercenary bounty hunter.
Vukki-Chebukki: Try taking the path of the adventurer. 
Live for the sake of others, and the rewards that accompany their gratitude will eventually bring you both material and spiritual wealth.
Vukki-Chebukki: Quitting the bounty hunter life allowed me to live this long and witness such incredible miracles.
Vukki-Chebukki: Let me get you started. 
Here's a reward for protecting me from one of the members of Atarefaunet's Band.
Sanctia: I've never seen a weapon like this before...or so much money!
Novice Moogle: Make sure you share that with Player name!
Novice Moogle: Even half that amount will go a long way to paying back your father's loans, kupopo!
Sanctia: Okay, I guess Player name deserves it.
Sanctia: Thank y--hey! He's gone!
Novice Moogle: He's awfully fast for such a little fellow, kupopo...
Sanctia: Oh well. 
I guess I don't have what it takes to become a bounty hunter.
Novice Moogle: So you've finally given up on that crazy idea, kupopo?
Sanctia: Yep! 
I'm gonna be an adventurer instead! 
Player name, you have to make me your apprentice!
Novice Moogle: Kupopo!?
:Accept Sanctia as your apprentice?
::I could use an extra hand.
::You've got to be kidding me...
Sanctia: Yay! 
Thank you, Player name!
Sanctia: As my teacher, you should head back to Rabao and let Zoriboh and my father know that you're gonna take care of me. 
Oh, and please take this money with you.
Sanctia: Me and my moogle are off to find high adventure!
:Accept Sanctia as your apprentice?
::I could use an extra hand.
::You've got to be kidding me...
Sanctia: You're no fun!
Sanctia: Fine, please go back and give Zoriboh and my father a message:
Sanctia: I'm making this moogle my teacher and heading off to find high adventure!
Novice Moogle: What did I do to deserve this, kupopo?
Novice Moogle: Sanctia! Wait for me, kupopo!
The Search for Goldmane (pt.2) - Rabao
Zoriboh: Little Sanctia has become an adventurer!?
Zoriboh: So Goldmane convinced her that was the best path... 
Well, he'd be about the only person she'd listen to.
Zoriboh: By the way, did you remember to give Sanctia the package from her father?
Chelvadurai: Mister Zoriboh!
Zoriboh: Chelvadurai, we were just talking about you. 
The adventurer we hired has returned. 
Now, about Sanctia...
Chelvadurai: She's become an adventurer! 
And this package is for me...?
Chelvadurai: There's a letter inside. 
Sanctia says that she'll send more money from her adventures so that I can pay back my loans and go back to my wife...
Zoriboh: She's a good kid. 
Time for you to pull up your bootstraps and follow her example.
Chelvadurai: I intend to do just that, Mister Zoriboh.
Zoriboh: Thanks for all your help, Player name. 
It's not much, but here's a little something from me.
Chelvadurai: I'll never let her down again. 
If Sanctia grows weary of her new life, you tell her she always has a place here with me.
