Unloading The Dices's basement

You just started and got your first 2000 gold from a lady on the docks and donated it all just to be left with empty pockets once again?
Or maybe you're just a rogue with questionable morals who doesn't mind stealing from predatory casinos.

Either way: The basement of "The Loaded Die" (east of the temple in the City with a name) contains some useful treasures that are just waiting for you.
But be careful: The basement is infected with cold slimes which will deal fatal cold damage to unexperienced adventurers.

For somewhat more experienced heroes the "Amulet of the Daemon Slaad" found in the Mossy caverns of the giant hills to the east can provide excellent cold resistance against those slimes.
But even adventurers that just arrived in The City with a Name can get their hand on those treasures with 1-2 Invisibility potions (108 gold each) from the local alchemist "Magic Imbiber" on the west part of the city center.

Drink one of those potions right before entering the basement of "The Loaded Die".
In the basement you spawn in the north west corner. Just 1 room to the south lies a "Dead Frozen Jailor" which has a really nice ring on him:

>>Ring of the Rogue +4<<
Enhancement Bonus: Dexterity +4
Skill Bonus: Disable Trap: +2
Skill Bonus: Hide +2
Skill Bonus: Move Silently +2
Skill Bonus: Open Lock +2
Skill Bonus: Pick Pocket +2

Even though this is especially nice for rogues, this ring can provide up to +2 AC with its dexterity bonus and early on you probably don't have anything that's close to beating that in your ring slots.
As the ring is so close to the entrance there's the option just go for the ring and then leave with the risk of probably dying from the cold Oozes nearby.
That risk is probably worth it for low level characters if you don't want or need anything else from the basement.

If you follow the corridor to the south you'll eventually come to a bigger room with a lot of different sized oozes in them.
In there is an iron bar door you can just open to get to the chest in the room behind. That chest contains

500 gold
1x Potion of Barkskin
1x Potion of Bull's Strength
1x Potion of Clarity
1x Potion of Endurance
1x Potion of Bless
3x Potion of Heal

The 500 gold and the buff potions will help a lot at the beginning. The heal potions should be kept for a little bit later as they are rare an quite powerful.
After looting the chest you return to the start. From there another corridor leads to the east and to another big room with a chest behind an iron bar door with the same contents as the first chest.
If you're quick one invisibility potion might be enough to get savely out of the basement. If you want to make sure not to die on the way out you should drink another one before heading into the 2nd corridor.

Look for the book "Free gold for beginners with an invis potion or 2" for more free loot and gold.
