The Dink Network

@ Thenewguy:
From the wizard hidden in the Icelands in the original game, regarding Dink's father (I removed the "wait" commands):

say_stop("`6Thank you ... what is your name friend?", &current_sprite);
say_stop("Dink Smallwood sir.", 1);
say_stop("`6SMALLWOOD ?!?", &current_sprite);
say_stop("`6I thought you were exiled.", &current_sprite);
say_stop("What??", 1);
say_stop("`6Of course, 100 years ago, he would've had children by now.", &current_sprite);
say_stop("Hey, you wanna tell me what you're talking about?", 1);
say_stop("`6Your family has an interesting lineage.", &current_sprite);
say_stop("`6The ancient ones are drawn to you,", &current_sprite);
say_stop("`6they can draw and feed upon magic from your family.", &current_sprite);
say_stop("`6And if one were to destroy you, they would gain immense power.", &current_sprite);
say_stop("There is some chaos brewing in this land now.", 1);
say_stop("We don't know who's behind it either. I was on my way to", 1);
say_stop("the darklands when I came here, I have to rescue a friend.", 1);
say_stop("`6Be careful Dink, whoever is behind this is probably an ancient,", &current_sprite);
say_stop("`6making it all seem to be someone else.", &current_sprite);
say_stop("`6I must go, beware Dink, and good luck.", &current_sprite);

I must admit I don't recall coming across this "wizard hidden in the Icelands in the original game". Still, while interesting, it does not really say much about Dink's dad. It only states that the ancients draw power from Dink's family, presumably including his pop. This says nothing about the kind of man his dad was. But thanks for bringing it to our attention anyway.
