- When she gets down to the castle, April realises it's anchored to the ground by a stone statue - that tries to talk to her. After using a little makeshift moisturizer to soften his mouth, the 'statue' explains he is Lorhan, one of the many people who has tried to defeat Roper Klacks. But Klacks is too powerful: he has taken the souls of his victims, holding them in a crystal called the Soulstone, and has trapped their bodies in stone. Lorhan is afraid the same will happen to April. She assures him she'll be fine, and Lorhan pulls down the steps into the castle for her.

- "There and Back Again" is the 645th episode of Casualty and the 7th episode of the 23rd series.
- When she gets down to the castle, April realises it's anchored to the ground by a stone statue - that tries to talk to her. After using a little makeshift moisturizer to soften his mouth, the 'statue' explains he is Lorhan, one of the many people who has tried to defeat Roper Klacks. But Klacks is too powerful: he has taken the souls of his victims, holding them in a crystal called the Soulstone, and has trapped their bodies in stone. Lorhan is afraid the same will happen to April. She assures him she'll be fine, and Lorhan pulls down the steps into the castle for her. Inside, April finds herself in a labyrinth filled with shifting steps, gargoyles, and deceptive paintings of staircases that trick her into walking up them. The voice of Roper Klacks taunts her, but she finally manages to make her way through and emerges into an antechamber. She tries to go up the stairs to the main tower, but Klacks himself appears and blocks her path. He finds her highly amusing and decides to have a little fun before the soul-removal-and-victim's-petrification business of the day. Image:KlacksCastle.jpg In one of The Longest Journey's more memorable sequences, April then challenges Klacks to various contests, including a spelling bee (April loses because she can't spell 'Anzhabecquakaleea'), a cookery contest (Klacks is a master of mince pies but April can't cook), a game of hopscotch (he's surprisingly agile in his Alchemist's robes) and challenging Klacks to quote from Shakespeare (he gives an RSC-quality rendition of a soliloquy from Macbeth). Finally, April pulls out the calculator she won in the cups game, and challenges Klacks to a contest of mathematical skill - his vast intellect against her puny gadget. As he loses again and again, he becomes more and more irritated until he finally snatches the calculator from April. He quickly becomes engrossed in playing with it, until suddenly, an eerie blue light emerges from it and sucks him inside. Image:GargoyleSpellBreaks.jpg April makes her way up the stairs and finds herself in Klacks' laboratory, where the Soulstone rests on a stand. Using his spell book and cauldron, she mixes various potions - though she has to brave her evil 'mirror-universe' self to get a torn page. She uses two of the potions to destroy the Soulstone, freeing Klacks' victims throughout the labyrinth. With Crow's help, she scatters a Wind Potion into the air above the castle - it frees the winds, but also lifts the castle up into the air. It floats across the plains and crashes outside Marcuria. April walks back to the city and heads down to the docks. Captain Horatio Nebevay is sceptical about April's story of defeating Klacks, but when she shows him the Wind Potion, he quickly changes his tune. If April comes with them, her wind magic will speed them on their way in no time. But Nebevay still doesn't have a navigator. Remembering her job with the map merchant, April makes her final delivery to Tun Luiec at the Journeyman Inn. She's a Dolmari navigator who is depressed because no one will hire her. April offers her a job aboard Nebevay's ship and she gratefully accepts. April decides to visit Vestrum Tobias before she leaves, and goes to the Temple of the Balance. She finds him contemplating the Murals of the Balance. He tells her that the armies of the Tyren, goaded on by the Vanguard, are coming. He also tells her that April is the thirteenth Guardian of the Balance, news that shocks and horrifies April. Tobias gives her a gift, an ancient artefact called the Talisman of the Balance, and wishes her good luck on her journey. April sails out on Nebevay's ship, the White Dragon, staring out over the rail, bound for the island of Alais at last. Previous chapter - Next chapter
- Bestowal Dialogue: The inscription on this stone marker is barely legible, but these words can just be made out: "The end of your search lies at the beginning. My treasure was always there, but you did not see." This new riddle may reveal the true location of the treasure. Background: The Ranger Culang has learned of a great treasure buried long ago by a Dúnadan-landholder and wants it recovered before it is found by tomb-robbers. Objective: 1. The treasure may lie beneath another stone marker, somewhere in Evendim, if this riddle is to be believed: "The end of your search lies at the beginning. My treasure was always there, but you did not see." You should examine the marker when you find it for some clue to the location of the treasure. 2. Culang is at the Ranger-camp on the island of Tinnudir, west of the crossroads of Canadiach. You found a hollow compartment in the stone marker that you believed to mark the location of the treasure and recovered a mouldy book from the hidden space. You should bring this book to Culang. Walkthrough: Go back to the first marker at the crossroads.
