Standard dialogue
- Ali Morrisane: Hello [player name]. How's the adventuring going?
- Player: Hi Ali. Not bad. How are you?
- Ali Morrisane: Still selling.
- I would like to have a look at your selection of blackjacks.
- Ali Morrisane: Hang on a second while I get my stock of blackjacks out.
- (Ali's Discount Wares. (Blackjacks) interface opens.)
- I would like to have a look at your selection of clothes.
- Ali Morrisane: Hang on a second while I get the garments.
- (Ali's Discount Wares. (Clothing) interface opens.)
- I would like to have a look at your selection of runes.
- Ali Morrisane: Hang on a second.
- Ali Morrisane: Well at the moment I don't exactly have a selection of runes.
- Player: You don't?
- Ali Morrisane: Those boxes from your friend Aubury have a very odd locking mechanism.
- Player: You have managed to get them off?
- Ali Morrisane: Not exactly.
- Player: What do you mean by 'not exactly'?
- Ali Morrisane: What I mean by 'not exactly' is 'no, I haven't managed to get the lock off'.
- Player: Oh.
- Ali Morrisane: I was kind of hoping that you would have a look at them. There are two distinctive types of caskets one with a simple locking mechanism and another, which ummm... looks a little tricky to say the least.
- Try opening a small casket of runes
- Player: I think I'll have a go at opening a small casket of runes.
- Force box.
- If the player fails at forcing open the box:
- Your arms tire from the exertions of trying to open the casket...
- You fail to open the chest.
- (End of dialogue)
- If the player successfully forces the box to open:
- Buy all the runes for [amount].
- Player pays [amount] and receives a random selection of runes.
- Find out what the runes are.
- (Ali Morrisane's discount rune store. interface opens.)
- If the player fails at forcing open the box:
- Pick lock.
- If the player fails to pick the lock:
- You fail to pick the lock - your fingers get numb from fumbling with the lock.
- (End of dialogue)
- If the player successfully picks the lock:
- Buy all the runes for [amount].
- Player pays [amount] and receives a random selection of runes.
- Find out what the runes are.
- (Ali Morrisane's discount rune store. interface opens.)
- If the player fails to pick the lock:
- Examine lock.
- (Rogue Trader sudoku interface opens.)
- Try opening a large casket of runes
- Player: I'm feeling lucky, let's have a look at opening one of those large caskets.
- Force box.
- Your arms tire from the exertions of trying to open the casket...
- Player: Hmmm... This lock looks like it may be impossible to prise open.
- (End of dialogue)
- Pick lock.
- You fail to pick the lock - your fingers get numb from fumbling with the lock.
- Player: Hmmm... This lock looks like it may be impossible to pick open.
- (End of dialogue)
- Examine lock.
- (Rogue Trader sudoku interface opens.)
- On second thoughts I don't really need any runes.
- Player: On second thoughts I don't really need any runes.

Using an Al kharid flyer on Ali Morrisane
- Player: Hi! I have this money off voucher!
- Ali Morrisane: Oh! Unfortunately it seems to have expired yesterday!
- Player: But I only just got it from Ali the Leaflet dropper!
- Ali Morrisane: I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do.
- Player: But you're the one that had them printed!
- Ali Morrisane: Look, I had those printed to win over the local traders. They weren't too pleased with the money off voucher, but I promised them I would repay their losses.
- Player: So that would be why they're all out of date then?
- Ali Morrisane: I don't know what you mean...
- Ali Morrisane: Anyway, it would be a shame for you to leave without looking at my wares.
During the Rogue Trader miniquest
- Ali Morrisane: Hello [player name]. How's the adventuring going?
- Player: Hi Ali. Not bad. How are you?
- Ali Morrisane: Still selling.

Before convincing Siamun to deliver clothes
- Ali Morrisane: Hello [player name]. How's the adventuring going?
- Player: Hi Ali. Not bad. How are you?
- Ali Morrisane: Still selling.
- Player: Anything interesting?
- Ali Morrisane: For you, always. As a matter of fact I have just acquired a fleet of magic carpets, which operate throughout the Kharidian desert.
- Player: Wow that sounds great, how about your stall?
- Ali Morrisane: Trade is good, but I would like to expand and diversify, but it's proving a little more difficult than I initially thought.
- Player: How so?
- Ali Morrisane: I think the other merchants are conspiring against me.
- Player: Oh come on! You're just being paranoid now.
- Ali Morrisane: Well maybe I can't get any new suppliers then because I'm Pollnivnian.
- Player: You're what?
- Ali Morrisane: From Pollnivneach.
- Player: Maybe I could help you then?
- Ali Morrisane: Perhaps you could.
- If the player has not completed Icthlarin's Little Helper:
- Ali Morrisane: My friend in Sophanem... Ahh never mind him, maybe we might have a look at him another time.
- Player: Is there anyone else you want me to talk to on your behalf?
- Ali Morrisane: There's a blackjack seller in Pollnivneach, a cautious type of guy, not the usual entrepreneurial sort that I would normally deal with, but...
- Ali Morrisane: I think that he has a product with real potential...
- Player: What? .... Blackjacks?
- Ali Morrisane: Yes, but at the moment the product isn't polished enough, if you could convince him to create a larger variety of weapon I would gladly stock his products.
- So what's in this for me?
- Player: What's in this for me?
- Ali Morrisane: I thought you wanted to help.
- Player: Of course, but everyone seems to be benefiting here but me.
- Ali Morrisane: What do you mean?
- Player: Well the trader gets their product sold, you get your cut, but what do I get?
- Ali Morrisane: You get access to more products. Is that not reward enough?
- Ali Morrisane: Hmmm... Perhaps not.
- Ali Morrisane: Didn't we also agree that you would get discounted travel on my magic carpet network?
- Player: Oh ya, I forgot.
- Ali Morrisane: So what's your problem then?
- Player: I don't have one I guess.
- Ali Morrisane: Good, that's what I like to hear. Now where were we?
- (Shows initial options)
- Ok I'll get on to it.
- Player: Ok I'll get on to it.
- (Shows initial options)
- If the player has completed Icthlarin's Little Helper:
- Ali Morrisane: I have an old friend - a cloth merchant Siamun, who lives in Sophanem - Do you know the place?
- Player: Umm..... Images of cats and priests come to mind. Ah yes! There we go, it's the city of the dead South of Pollnivneach isn't it?
- Ali Morrisane: That's the one, well if you could convince him to supply me with some of his merchandise, I would be more than willing to sell them to the masses ...... for a small percentage of course.
- Select an Option
- So what's in this for me?
- (Same as above)
- Ok I'll get on to it.
- (Same as above)
After convincing Siamun to deliver clothes
- Ali Morrisane: Siamun's clothes seem to have really struck a chord with the locals in Al Kharid. Menaphite culture seems to be taking off here, rumour has it that one of Prince Ali's servants bought him one of Siamun's robes.
- Player: Wow, that sounds positive.
- Ali Morrisane: Quite, if I don't say so myself. But in order to keep things fresh, the next time you're in Sophanem, could you ask that cranky old so-and-so Siamun to produce a new line of clothing?
- Player: Sure, why not. The Sultan himself might even buy some of the new range.
- Ali Morrisane: That would be the day.
- I would like to have a look at your selection of blackjacks.
- (Same as above)
- I would like to have a look at your selection of clothes.
- (Same as above)
- I would like to have a look at your general stock.
- (Same as above)
- Who did you want me to talk to again?
- Player: Who did you want me to talk to again?
- Ali Morrisane: Could you talk to your friend Aubury in Varrock about supplying me with runes?
- Player: Hmm, that could work out quite well. Varrock is always quite busy, so I might try to get a couple of other things done while I'm there.
- Ali Morrisane: Don't tarry there too long, I'm quite anxious to get a rune store open before anyone else in this area.
- Player: I'll get to it right away.
- (Shows initial options)

- Ali Morrisane: You get access to more products. Is that not reward enough?
- Ali Morrisane: Hmmm... Perhaps not.
- Ali Morrisane: I'll tell you what then, how about I let you have discounted flights on my magic carpet rides?
- Player: Wow that would be great.
- Ali Morrisane: Fair enough, so we have a win, win, win situation on our hands then.
- (End of dialogue)
- Ok I'll get on to it.
- Player: Ok I'll get on to it.
- (End of dialogue)
Before convincing Aubury to deliver runes
- Ali Morrisane: I think I need just one more product type, something, magical ... now what could I stock that's magical, has large demand and a pretty good profit margin...
- Player: How about runes?
- Ali Morrisane: Yes, that would be perfect, but who could I get that would supply? There really seems to be a gap in the market in the desert but I don't know anyone in that line of business.
- Player: Hang on, I know somebody called Aubury, decent fella. I helped him out a while back. Perhaps I could approach him about the idea.
- Ali Morrisane: Oh yes, the rune seller from Varrock. That would be perfect. He's far enough away that he wouldn't end up competing with himself.
- Player: What do you mean?
- Ali Morrisane: Well the rune market is a limited one, if I were to sell his runes from a location nearby his shop, then I would take part of his market share so he would in fact not benefit from me selling runes.
- Player: Ah ha, I think I know where this is going. So because you're located far enough away from him you will take up someone else's share in the market and Aubury will make more money as a result.
- Ali Morrisane: Very well anticipated.
- So what's in this for me?
- (Same as above)
- Ali Morrisane: Well you had better get going, you've a fair bit of travelling ahead of you. Unless you want to make a small purchase from me first?
- No I'm really too busy.
- Player: No, I'm really too busy.
- (End of dialogue)
- Ok
- Player: Okay.
- (Ali's Discount Wares. interface opens.)
After convincing Aubury to deliver runes
- Ali Morrisane: Good job on getting the rune stone shipments sorted. I'm just receiving the first of them. Though there seems to be a funny sort of locking mechanism on them, which I haven't completely figured out.
- Player: No problem. I might have a look at it later.
- Ali Morrisane: [player name], I would like to commend you on all the selfless help you have given me.
- Player: It was nothing, really.
- Ali Morrisane: I think you underestimate your efforts. Anyway, as a token of my gratitude I have told all my magic carpet attendants to allow you to travel on the carpets at a discounted rate.
- Player: Really, Ali, there is no need.
- Ali Morrisane: I insist.
- I would like to have a look at your selection of blackjacks.
- (Same as above)
- I would like to have a look at your selection of clothes.
- (Same as above)
- I would like to have a look at your selection of runes.

- (Same as above)
- I hear you're planning to expand your business here...
- Player: I hear you're planning to expand your business here...
- Ali Morrisane: Of course, my friend. Any good salesman ought to take the opportunities that present themselves.
- Player: But your men are threatening the other shopkeepers!
- Ali Morrisane: That is regrettable, I'm afraid.
- Player: And the gnomes don't sound very happy about your magic carpet business.
- Ali Morrisane: A good businessman looks for all the opportunities he can.
- Aren't you going to do anything about your men?
- Player: Aren't you going to do anything about your men?
- Ali Morrisane: Well, these associates of my nephew can be somewhat... overenthusiastic.
- Ali Morrisane: I'm sure they'll settle down soon.
- But they're threatening to hurt the shopkeepers if they don't cooperate!
- Player: But they're threatening to hurt the shopkeepers if they don't cooperate!
- Ali Morrisane: Well, there's a simple solution there, don't you agree?
- Player: Are you planning to take over all of Al Kharid's shops?
- Ali Morrisane: It's a step in the right direction.
- Ali Morrisane: Now, would you like to have a look at my wares?
- (Player receives a random item from Ali's Discount Wares.)
- No, I'm really too busy.
- Player: No, I'm really too busy.
- (End of dialogue)
- Okay.
- Player: Okay.
- (Ali's Discount Wares. interface opens.)
- Well, good luck with your business.
- (Same as below)
- What will you do about the gnomes?
- Player: What will you do about the gnomes?
- Ali Morrisane: They can continue running their gliders into trees, and I'll keep my business going. Sooner or later it'll all work out in my favour.
- Player: I suppose so...
- Ali Morrisane: Anyway, before you go, take a look at my wares.
- Well, good luck with your business.
- Player: Well, good luck with your business.
