Why do you people always think of kick the door open and stay till the end? As I mentioned, Momon can be an envoy, which can also be used as a greeting card so as to let the Dwarves know of Ainz because Ainz's reputation is pretty bad in the NW. If Slane hadn't sent someone to snoop around E-Rantel, they wouldn't even know what is going on and considered that all the population had been killed off, as per the normal prejudice against the undead.

With no traders going to E-Rantel until Albedo asked that of the Eight Fingers, do you think the Dwarves would even consider Ainz intelligent to begin with since they may not have a way of knowing? With this, mind telling me how to set up trade with a default reputation as bad as this? Forced subjugation? Ainz doesn't really like that idea very much and he's also wary about the possible existence of players in NW. Better not antagonize them unless needed. Ainz is indeed trying to cut down on the use of Momon but he can't just stop outright so Momon is bound to pop up from time to time but the spotlight is centered on Ainz instead. The only possible way to stop people from ever bringing up Momon would be to "kill" him outright, as in a great sacrifice or something after he has served his due in "introducing" Ainz. Whether this is something that will happen in Holy Kingdom or will it happen at all is... well, right up in the sky.

First, Momon helps to alleviate the doubt so that the Dwarves would at least willing to listen. Then, Ainz can make an entrance with the use of Gate and appear with the two Guardians. Two, the group can be separated into two parties, meaning that Pandora's Actor MAY have a role in this one so that they can see Ainz and Momon both at the same time, with Momon explaining things about Ainz and what he "had seen about Ainz" though we were never told that PA went with them. This would help to set the prejudice aside a bit to see that Ainz is indeed intelligent and doesn't kill needlessly.

The thing that follows may be a trades deal over the table, meaning that Ainz can at least have some time to show off his business skills. As you said, Momon is humble but if it's Pandora's Actor acting as him then he can drink or he can simply point at Hamsuke and let her deal with it. It's one thing to consider the drinking part but nobody said that it's a must at this point because we don't know what happens later. The dwarves may be the type to boast but most of their traditional depictions also set them up as militaristic so a show of might is still possible. Ainz doesn't really need to be buddies with the Dwarves, he just need to set up a business chain. Bringing up Zaryusu's name might even work wonders, who knows?

If one of the Dwarves is indeed a player avatar, as in the eponymous Craftsman, then Ainz can probably skip the drinking part altogether with a vouch of confidence from that person instead unless the Craftsman doesn't trust Ainz to begin with... Ugh, it's another midnight here. Guess I'll leave for now.
