A quick info+story dump for Ri and Lark! for new friends to get to know them! ^^ I hope this helps! This is from my private commission page and it's a bit rough ;3

Ri was my gold dragon path KC, but Lark and I decided to have him follow my hc archlich path as a companion. Lark is a mystery archlich NPC, KCs can pick them up in Ri's companion quest as an advisor.

Rimerock

Name: Rimerock/Ri Gender: Male, He/Him Race: Ancient silver dragon, 950+ yo Alignment: Lawful Good to Lawful Neutral Class: Paladin/Knight/Shifter Favored Weapon: longswords (golden sword Sundial, inherited from his family member Mirikshul) Disease: Corruption. (Demon lord murdered his family when he was 400+ yo, since then he suffered from a deadly corruption no one can cure. It’s a metallic dragon disease that brings mental damage and physical pain, causing the dragon to lose its vibrant colors. Due to the disease, Ri loses his mind and becomes aggressive from time to time. To avoid hurting innocents, he isolates himself and fights at the frontline against evil, seeking revenge or his death. That’s until Lark found him and offered help.) The Scale: Ri’s fallen scale served as Lark’s amulet and protected the archlich for hundreds of years. When Lark found Ri, they enchanted the scale, made it special for Ri, and returned it back to him. As long as Ri wears the scale, his mind can stay clear, without the mental infections from corruption. It is a temporary method until the disease is removed. Appearance: Taller and athletic build, white but a warmer skin tone, two moles (one below right eye, the other on the left side of his neck), scars (across left cheek and nose, and some other scars on his body). long curly silver hair, glacier eyes. Usually wears silver heavy armor with symbols of the platinum dragon god Apsu. If there is no war, he often wears light armor and an open-collared shirt at home. + (If his corruption isn’t removed, all his colors are darker. his hair is grayish, eyes darker blue, and scales are covered in black and dark blue spirals. Without the corruption, his hair is shiny silver like silk, his eyes pale icy blue, and his silver scale shimmers iridescent) General Personality: Brave, kind, generous, self-sacrificing, stubborn, protective, reliable, honest, endurance (pain and needs), always provide but feel guilty to take Hobbies: Sunbathing, wood carving, Lark’s chin rubs when he’s in dragon form Association & Symbols: swords, knights, shields (protect the ones he cares about and do good deeds.); gold dragon claw symbol (he is Apsu faithful); war horse or lone wolf (animal symbol, lonely, sorrow)

Background Story:

Like all silver dragons, Rimerock lived in a clan led by an ancient silver, together with some teens and couples. When he was only a hatchling with weak wings, the evil destroyed his home and slaughtered his kin, leaving him the only survivor. Fortunately, a pair of golden dragons adopted him. He grew up with his much younger gold dragon brother Neralshul. The couple's first child, Mirikshul, was a young adult. She had been taking care of the younger two as their elder sister and mentor. It wasn't until Ri was 400+ yo that Mirik died at the claws of Baphomet in order to protect her brothers. The two survivors were simultaneously infected with fatal corruption due to her death. Neral's anger turned him from Lawful Good into Chaotic Evil, thus Rimerock parted ways with him. In order to cure the disease, Ri and other metallic dragons tried numerous methods but all failed. The silver then gave up looking for a cure and left alone to embark on a journey of revenge.

When Rimerock was a young dragon, he started his adventure fighting evil and helping those in need. He saved many lives, most of them he could not remember. One day he saved a sinking ship and all its passengers, including a young boy called Larksharius. The boy picked up a scale fallen from him during the rescue, Ri didn’t mind or remember all that. They both kept on with their lives until fate brought them together again. After Ri married Lark, he joined Lark to be a planar traveler too. The two immortals now are on a honeymoon that lasts forever.

Pathfinder WOTR Companion Quest:

Chapter II: A Relic of The Past

When the KC enters Lost Chapel for the first time, heads up the hill. In the chapel, Rimerock is trying to redeem some ghouls. His magic works on a few of them, those cured run downhill, and the rest turn hostile. Clear the enemies, talk to Rimerock, and then he joins the party. He explains he was looking for a relic that belonged to his family. Head downstairs towards the library, and go through those freshly killed dead ghouls to find a hidden hallway. Be careful of the traps and loot the "Radiant Silver Scale" from a research desk. Rimerock claims this is the relic he needs, so give it to him. If with perception 26, the KC will notice this is a silver dragon scale, and someone is looking at them from another plane with no hostility. Now exit the library to follow the main questline, but remember, the KC will return for the Rimerock's next quest.

Chapter III: A Ghost from The Past

At some point during Chapter III, Rimerock approaches the KC in the Citadel. He wishes to return to the library under Lost Chapel. Travel there with only Rimerock in the party, and let the "Radiant Silver Scale" stay in his necklace inventory. This time, a scholar named Larksharius will be there. The two seem to know each other. It turns out that Rimerock has been troubled by a deadly corruption and is close to inevitable death. Larksharius offers a possible way, which leads Rimerock to a path of undead and turns him into a lich in the end. It is possible for him to remain lawful good, as long as he follows the codes and is supported when in need. Choose how to reply carefully. Going with the Good option "Undead is not allowed in my party" will lead to a hard fight with Larksharius and endless ghouls summoned. Rimerock eventually stops the fight, turns into a silver dragon, and flies away with Larksharius. Going with the Evil option results in the same, except there's no fight. Choose either the Neutral or Chaotic option, Rimerock stays a companion. Larksharius will join as a war council advisor when the KC returns to the Citadel. (The “ Radiant Silver Scale“ is now locked in Rimerock’s necklace slot, it is enchanted by Larksharius, stopping Rimerock from losing his sanity in the corruption.)

Chapter VI: Currents of Karma

After the KC meets Noticula, Rimerock will approach. He requests to join the party to battle Hepzamirah, to revenge for his former mentor who's been killed by Baphomet. Abroad the ship with him in the party, as this is an important variable that counts for his good ending. When Hepzamirah summons Baphomet, Rimerock shows his true form as a silver dragon. His breath has a small chance to paralyze the enemy for one turn if turn-based, and his cold aura grants the entire party a slight damage boost, with 1 chance to remove all debuffs for all party members. After the battle, choose dialogue options to calm him down, basically telling him not to be blinded by hatred.

Chapter V: Rise of The Guardian

Somewhere during Chapter V, Rimerock approaches the KC. He is grateful that the KC has allowed him to perform the transformation toward the undead. Now he is ready for the final step, he asks to leave the party with Larksharius. He is not sure what he will become, a dragcolich or more likely something else. Rimerock asks the KC to trust him, if things go wrong, Larksharius will kill him, otherwise, they will return. If the KC supported Rimerock as mentioned above, the two will return in 7 calendar days. Rimerock says the ritual is successful, he is now a good-aligned undead dragon. It is worth mentioning that if the KC takes him to IZ after his successful transformation, the bone dragon can be persuaded to join the crusade.

Larksharius

Name: Larksharius/Lark Gender: Agender, They/Them Race: Archlich (immortal undead demigod), 800+ yo Alignment: Lawful Neutral Class: Necromancer/Planar Traveler Favored Weapon: rings, soul chains, daggers Appearance: Tall and bony build, pale skin, short brown curly hair, emerald eyes, long lashes, feather earrings, ear piercings, full body tattoos, and under these are scars. (Lark had long curly hair when he was a man, but cut it short when they became an archlich. He had no tattoos before he became an undead.) Tattoos: Cover all over their body, except areas around their head, hands, and feet. The multiple small black tattoos form a giant silver dragon hugging them from behind. The tattoos cover the scars they had when they were imprisoned, and are memorials of those best memories they had (a lich always forgets how essential memories and emotions are, they become emotionless over time) General Personality: Calm, detached, curious, independent, most of the time emotionless, their kind acts are carefully calculated results according to their own codes. They show more concern and emotions while around their partner Rimerock. Hobbies: Read books, drink tea, hot herbal bath Association & Symbols: Crow (it’s their deity symbol if they choose to ascend as a god); lily, lotus, wheat (rebirth, resurrection, sacrifice); emerald gemstone; feathers (freedom)

Background Story: When Lark was a 12 yo boy, he was saved by the young adult silver dragon Rimerock (150+ yo) from a sinking ship. It was a cold sunny winter, and the image of that elegant young dragon and his iridescent silver scales was imprinted on Lark’s memory. Lark kept a scale fallen from Ri as an amulet. As a man, Lark was a talented scholar, curious and kind, born with a special soul that attracts all good deities and evil ones. He was captured by the demon lord Baphomet, imprisoned and tortured in the Ineluctable Prison. To escape, he killed himself to turn into a lich (an evil undead. Their body will decay, more likely to fall into chaotic evil). After the escape, they seek revenge, hunting down Baphomet cultists for 50+ years, collecting knowledge and spells at the same time. When they calmed down, Lark made a deal with the Osirian deity Set. They trade knowledge stolen from the demon lord Abraxas (deity of forbidden knowledge) to Set (deity of undead). In return, Set's helped them turn into an archlich, by reaping away all their time as a lich and redoing the ritual. In the process, Set’s scythe cut off Lark’s hair. Whatever Lark left behind turned into an immortal raven, and Set promised if they ever returned to claim it, Lark would ascend as its successor, a new god. But for their freedom, Lark refused. (Set’s symbol: two-headed Sha/Doberman and a many-headed serpent) They lived a solitary life as a lawful neutral archlich for 700+ years. Like all long-life undeads, they gradually lose their morals and emotions. To maintain their alignment and avoid falling into evil, Lark made rules for themselves. The only emotions never reduced by lichdom are curiosity and excitement for new knowledge. Driven by their curious nature, Lark pursues precious knowledge, even the forbidden ones. They became a planar traveler, traded or stole knowledge, and made friends and foes. Set’s protection only made them bolder. Sometimes Lark overuses their power, their soul will be forced out of their body, lost alongside the River of Souls and Set can’t help them. Whenever Lark’s soul is in danger like this, Rimerock’s scale always glows and guides them back to safety. At the age of 800+ Lark found out Rimerock was troubled by corruption, and the dragon was dying. They found the silver dragon and helped him. The two bonded and fell in love, and got married after Ri’s corruption was removed. Their love story in a nutshell: a 1000-year-long lost and found.

SIUE (14-31, 5-19 OVC), which had been held scoreless in the first two games of the series, broke through for its first runs against the Govs in the bottom of the first. Designated hitter Peyton Cordova-Smith delivered a two-out base hit to drive in two and give the Cougars a 2-1 lead.

The Cougars would break the game open in the middle stages, scoring four runs in both the fourth and sixth frames. A pair of bases-loaded walks and catcher Brock Weimer’s two-run single accounted for the fourth inning outburst and a 8-2 lead.

Austin Peay put together one last outburst, right fielder Kyle Wilson hitting a three-run home run in the seventh that took advantage of back-to-back walks. However, the Govs had just one runner in the final two innings and could not close the gap.

Govs starter Brandon Vial (2-3) suffered the loss after allowing six runs on five hits and three walks in 3.1 innings.

Wilson paced the Govs offense with a 2-for-4, three RBI effort. Kueber added a 2-for-4, one RBI outing as the Govs mustered just five hits on the day.

SIUE reliever Chris Robinson (3-1) picked up the win after allowing three runs on two hits and three walks over the final four innings.

McCunn had two home runs as part of a 4-for-4, five RBI outburst in the win. The top five batters in the Cougars order combined for 11 hits and all 12 RBI in the contest.

Dallas, TX – Elevated blood pressure before becoming pregnant and early in pregnancy may increase the risk of pregnancy loss, even if the woman doesn’t have a hypertension diagnosis, according to new research in the American Heart Association’s journal Hypertension.

“Elevated blood pressure among young adults is associated with a higher risk of heart disease later in life, and this study suggests it may also have an effect on reproductive health,” said Carrie J. Nobles, Ph.D., lead author of the study and a postdoctoral fellow in the Epidemiology Branch of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute for Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) in Bethesda, Maryland.

APSU Baseball travels to Murfreesboro to take on Middle Tennessee

APSU Sports Information APSU Baseball

Clarksville, TN – Austin Peay State University’s baseball team brings a four-game road trip to an end when it meets Middle Tennessee for a 6:00pm, Tuesday contest in Murfreesboro Tennessee.

Tuesday’s contest is the second game of a home-and-home series between the two Tennessee-based squads.

Austin Peay Baseball plays Tuesday game against Middle Tennessee in Murfreesboro. First pitch is at 6:00pm. (APSU Sports Information)

The Blue Raiders handed the Governors a 9-0 loss in Clarksville, March 13th.

Austin Peay returns to action after winning an Ohio Valley Conference series at Morehead State last weekend. The Governors became the first OVC team since 2013 to win a series at Morehead. Austin Peay will look to continue a recent hot streak that has seen it win five of seven while averaging 11.3 runs per game.

Middle Tennessee returns home after dropping a three-game Conference USA series at nationally-ranked Southern Miss last weekend. The Blue Raiders are 11-11-1 at home this season, including a 2-1-1 record during their last homestand.

First Hacks

Austin Peay is ranked No. 79 in the NCAA’s April 19th RPI rankings. The Govs have recorded six or more walks 18 times this season and they rank 11th nationally with 219 base on balls (5.48 per game). Austin Peay also is ranked among the nation’s Top 20 in both doubles per game (2.35, 6th) and scoring (7.6 runs per game, 12th) entering the week.

First baseman Parker Phillips has enjoyed the arrival of April, batting .486 with seven home runs and 20 RBI in 10 games during the month; he has vaulted into the Division I ranking in homers (29th, 11) and RBI (25th, 45). Second baseman Garrett Giovannelli batted .600 (9-15) with four doubles during the Morehead State series and also made a big move in the Division I rankings in both total doubles (5th, 18) and batting average (54th, .377).

Shortstop Garrett Kueber is batting .418 (21-51) with 15 RBI in his last 14 games with an at-bat, opening with back-to-back four-hit outings on March 18th and 2th, but has missed the last five games due to injury. Infielder Bobby Head made all three starts at shortstop during the Morehead State series and now has started and reached base in each of the Govs last six games.

Third baseman Malcolm Tipler became the regular third baseman in the Govs OVC opener at Jacksonville State, March 9th, and is batting .290 (31-107) with a team-best 27 runs scored in the 27 games since. Center fielder Imani Willis has batted .360 (9-25) with 11 RBI in the Govs last seven games, including five extra base hits (two homers).

Left fielder Kyle Wilson owns a four-game hit streak entering the midweek, batting .389 (7-18) with four RBI, two doubles and a home run during the streak. Right fielder Nick Walker had a home run in each game of the Morehead State series, finishing the weekend batting .357 (5-14) with three homers and seven RBI.

Catchers David Martinez and Alex Sala have split starts behind the plate since March 6th, Martinez and Sala each making 13 starts while Phillips has three starts in that 29-game span; they have combined to hit .250 with five home runs (three by Sala, two by Martinez) and 20 RBI in starts at catcher.

The 2018 Govs offense is a collectively young group with only 15 years of Division I experience between the 20 available position players entering the season. Since the start of OVC play 16 different Govs hitters have started a game and only Tipler has started each of the 27 games since the March 9 OVC opener and only Tipler and Willis have played all 27.

Toeing The Rubber

Lefty Josh Rye is scheduled to make his fourth start this season. While he has not posted a win in his first three starts, he has held opponents to a .278 batting average over his 8.2 innings of work as a starter. Govs pitchers have 307 strikeouts in 349 innings (7.92 K/9) this season after amassing a record-tying 466 strikeouts (8.07 K/9) last season.

On Deck

Austin Peay returns home to host a four-game homestand, its longest since mid-March, which begins with a three-game Ohio Valley Conference series against UT Martin, Friday-Sunday. The Govs have won five of their six OVC series this season, including four straight series victories.

Austin Peay State University Men’s Golf comes in third at Bobby Nichols Intercollegiate

APSU Sports Information APSU Men’s Golf

Sevierville, TN – It was an historic day for Austin Peay State University men’s golf, which kept up a series of fantastic finishes at the sixth annual Bobby Nichols Intercollegiate at Sevierville Golf Club’s River Course.

Austin Peay Men’s Golf finishes Bobby Nichols Intercollegiate three under par. (APSU Sports Information)

The Govs finished with a three-under par 861 (290-279-292), securing third place by nine shots over Marshall. Eastern Kentucky won the event with an 850, followed by Carson-Newman (851) and the Govs, with UT Martin pushing up to fifth on the final day.

It’s Austin Peay’s third straight top-three finish, the longest streak of top-three finishes for the program since nine consecutive top-three finishes spanning most of the 2012-13 campaign.

Continuing his ascension up the leaderboard on the final day was sophomore Alex Vegh, who went from tied for 26th after the first round to a tie for fifth thanks to a final-round 70, which left him at five-under par 211 (74-67-70) for the tournament. He led the Govs in both par-3 (2.83/hole, tied with Austin Lancaster) and par-4 (3.97/hole) scoring, picking up his third consecutive top-10 finish in the process—the first Gov since Marco Iten in 2014 with three straight top-10 showings.

Lancaster did more than his part, picking up his second consecutive top-10 with a seventh-place 214 (71-68-75); the Hendersonville, TN native shot seven-under par (4.42/hole) on par-5 attempts for the week, leading the Govs and finishing third in the tournament with 14 birdies.

Adding in a third straight top-10 of his own was sophomore Michael Busse, who tied for 10th at 215 (70-72-73); Busse spent the week getting up and down, canning 39 pars—tied for fourth-most over the 54-hole event.

Busse and Vegh are the first set of Governor teammates with three straight top-10 finishes since Iten and Anthony Bradley in 2012-13 (Kenny Perry Invitational, F&M Bank APSU Intercollegiate and Harmony Golf Preserve Intercollegiate).

With the trio of sophomores in head coach Robbie Wilson‘s lineup playing as well as they have the last few weeks, freshmen Chase Korte and Jay Fox have flown under the radar, but the duo was solid in their own right. Korte’s final-round 74 left him tied for 31st (75-72-74—221), while Fox continued to build off his round two momentum, firing a final-round 77 (85-76-77—238).

The Govs will take a 13-day hiatus before returning to action in Jonesboro, Arkansas, site of the Red Wolves Intercollegiate; the two-day event will be held at Ridge Pointe Country Club.

Saturday, March 3rd, 2018 | 5:00pm CT Knoxville, TN | Thompson-Boling Arena | TV: SEC Network

Tennessee Volunteers – UT Vols

Knoxville, TN – With a chance to at least claim a share of the SEC Championship, 16th-ranked Tennessee wraps up the regular season against Georgia in Thompson-Boling Arena on Saturday. The game tips at 5:00pm CT and will be televised live on SEC Network and streamed online via WatchESPN.

The Volunteers (22-7, 12-5 SEC) can claim a share of the regular-season championship with a win, but if Auburn loses to South Carolina and UT wins, Tennessee would pass the Tigers for the top spot in the SEC and would be the outright champion after being picked to finish 13th in the preseason. The Vols sealed their top-2 finish on Tuesday with a dominating win at Mississippi State behind 24 points from Admiral Schofield. The junior forward is averaging 21.7 ppg and 7.3 rpg during UT’s three-game winning streak.

Nashville, TN – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District announced today that it is continuing its flood control operation by using flood control storage in Lake Barkley to help mitigate the ongoing flood event on the Ohio River. This may cause minor high water impacts to communities along the Cumberland River in Lyon and Trigg Counties in Kentucky, and Stewart and Montgomery Counties in Tennessee.

Releases from Barkley Dam on the Cumberland River in Kuttawa, KY, are being reduced today as the Ohio River flood crest passes downstream. This reduction in discharge contributes to lowering the crest on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, thereby reducing flood risk at cities such as Paducah, KY, Cairo, IL, Memphis, TN, Vicksburg MS, and New Orleans, LA.

What to do During Severe Weather Situations

Montgomery County Government Tennessee

Montgomery County, TN – Ready or not, the severe weather season is upon us. It began with unseasonably warm temperatures last week followed by strong winds and tornados that impacted more than 150 homes and hundreds of people in our community. Planning for severe weather can help tremendously.

It is strongly recommended that rural and municipal residents use a NOAA weather alert radio which can be purchased for less than $50.00 at several local stores or online. There are also free and low-cost severe weather apps including the NOAA app and apps from News Channels 2, 4 and 5.

Pasadena, CA – Much like detectives who study fingerprints to identify the culprit, scientists used NASA’s Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes to find the “fingerprints” of water in the atmosphere of a hot, bloated, Saturn-mass exoplanet some 700 light-years away. And, they found a lot of water. In fact, the planet, known as WASP-39b, has three times as much water as Saturn does.

Though no planet like this resides in our solar system, WASP-39b can provide new insights into how and where planets form around a star, say researchers. This exoplanet is so unique, it underscores the fact that the more astronomers learn about the complexity of other worlds, the more there is to learn about their origins. This latest observation is a significant step toward characterizing these worlds.

Using Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes, scientists studied the “hot Saturn” called WASP-39b – a hot, bloated, Saturn-mass exoplanet located about 700 light-years from Earth. By dissecting starlight filtering through the planet’s atmosphere into its component colors, the team found clear evidence for a large amount of water vapor. (NASA, ESA, G. Bacon and A.

Clarksville, TN – I recently posed the question on my Facebook page about how my fellow riders handle tailgaters. As expected, the responses ran the gamut of opinions.

I can’t say that I have had many instances of tailgaters running up on me, but occasionally, I’ll encounter someone who appears out of nowhere and it scares the living HELL out of me. Not being as experienced as some of you, I still get a little “jittery” when someone’s too close to me.

In my opinion, there’s not a lot of options to dealing with someone who wants to get a real close look at your license plate. If you’re on the interstate, and you’re in the passing lane, you can only wait until you can move to the cruising lane and let the idiot get past you.
