Ali the Smith

Ali the Smith is a smith employed by Ali Morrisane located north-east of the Al Kharid Palace. He can be found in a house just east of Zeke's Superior Scimitars. He appears once players have completed all three of Ali Morrisane's errands in Rogue Trader.

Ali was recently brought to Al Kharid by Ali Morrisane, a famed merchant that is looking to monopolise the market of Al Kharid. Ali is looking to open a smithy in Al Kharid, but has yet to set up shop.

Dialogue

 * Player: Hello there!
 * Ali the Smith: You seem rather cheerful. Is there anything you're after?
 * Player: What can you tell me about Al Kharid?
 * Ali the Smith: Well, it's hot and full of sand.
 * Player: Anything else?
 * Ali the Smith: Don't ask me, I'm not from around here.
 * Player: So where are you from?
 * Ali the Smith: A town to the south of the Shantay Pass, called Pollnivneach.
 * Player: So what do you do here?
 * Ali the Smith: Not very much, at the moment. I came from further south to set up a smithy here...
 * Ali the Smith: ...but we still haven't set up the shops, so we have no customers yet.
 * Player: I hear you work for Ali Morrisane...
 * Ali the Smith: Yes, he's the one who persuaded us to come here.
 * Ali the Smith: He said we'd have lots of customers once we set up our shops, and all he asks for is a cut of the profits.
 * Player: Maybe I should talk to him...
 * Ali the Smith: Of course. He's always happy to talk to possible business partners.
 * Player: I hear you've been threatening the other shopkeepers.
 * Ali the Smith: What? Who's spreading that rumour?
 * Player: Well, one of the shopkeepers told me a man with a large hammer came to threaten them.
 * Ali the Smith: Don't pay any attention to those people.
 * Ali the Smith: They're just worried that they'll lose money when we open our shops.
