We're back! This time we're reading Chapters 11 through 14. Everyone keeps going into Riverclan territory, and it's really causing some problems. Staircast also takes a hard stance against Graystripe, as he transforms into Fireheart's shitty high school friend who never hangs out anymore because he got a girlfriend. Also, he is a vector for The Plague. We also say a sad goodbye to Yahoo Answers and its Warriors community. Additionally, the show will be going on hiatus for the next few weeks! Check
