The Dink Network

I have been playing this game for quite a while now and have my sword and the scroll from the fairy. I can't find anyone who will ask me if I want to be mage or warrior, everytime I talk to MArtridge, he tells me to go find the sword and I already have it, he won't take the scroll either. I can't get any further. Please help!.
Thanks

Bane of the magi has quite alot of bugs, so I suggest you just follow the walkthrough everytime you have a problem. (The link is provided below)

Thanks but I have been following the walk-through and am still stuck. I think I will try startng all over , maybe I have to do it all in order. Wish me luck.
