The Dink Network

Dink Solutions doesn't seem to be up, and I can't find a walkthrough anywhere. I'm stuck, and I've tried everything, but I don't know how to continue.

I bought the intro, talked to all the NPC's I could find, killed the bonca that ate that woman's husband or whatever, and if I go into that castle thing, I get killed instantly and have to load.

What do I have to do to progress?

Smash all barrels, watch your money A LOT and if you went wrong somewhere and saved, you have to start all over again. Also, buy all potions and weapons (but not magic) to continue in the game.
