Do what I did.
Accept the numerous deaths and run away when times get hard (which they will, trust me). From there, always look to see if someone has gone through the level ahead of you. If you purchase a lot of bags of holding (something this gamer HIGHLY recommends), you can then stuff your pockets full of fallen and discarded loot to sell to Durnan later. As well, make sure to visit the store in down for better weaponry than what you'll find in Durnan's regular stock. Unless you are feeling lucky, then check through what OTHER people have sold to Durnan. More often than not (especially as of recent weeks again) high level characters will do "dumps" there, and sell to Durnan a lot of items they have no use for. If you see something you like there and you can afford it - BUY IT! Don't wait, don't hesistate. Use the overage of others to benefit yourself.

The best part of this module is that it is not "true RPG" in that if you die you don't lose what you have gained previously. Use that to your advantage at the lower levels, mainly as death is almost assured sooner or later. Just don't let it stop you (completely).
Very sound advice for the soloing adventurer, no matter the class. Making your fortune is not hard either, if your just a little bit scrupleless. There are a lot of places to find stuff that has been left carelessly laying around, *mostly in locked chests or rooms* w/out ever leaving the inn.
