The Dink Network

OK..Now that I have been royally sucked by the sands of the Kalahari, how in Dink's name do I get over or around them? Or better yet, where do I find this wizard that is supposed to help you? I found some grave in which the ghosts make immediate and final mincemeat out of you. Hints, directions, ideas, glady and readily accepted.

From the screen with the grave, go up until you reach the "edge", and then left(possibly a few further screens...) You should spot an entrance to a cave somewhere at the edge. A wizard lives there, who sells you the spell "Divining rod". It marks quicksand locations in a red hue, and should be cast once upon entering any screen in the *canyon of death*.

Also, if you don't have the money, if you look really closely, you can see the quicksand without the rod.
