The Dink Network

I am stumped, as usual.

I can't get out of Dink's yard, except by teleporter. I've been to the house in the woods and read Mary's diary, which told me zip. The other bookcase is just a dusty shelf of old books. Where's the Star diary?

I killed Mary, was that wrong?

In the village, I got the sword, but he won't upgrade it for me. Talked to the inventor, zip. Talked to the people in the healer's, zip. Even punched the one wizard guy many times, zip.

What have I missed?
