Kima of Vord

Lady Kima of Vord is a Halfling Paladin of Bahamut. She is portrayed by Matthew Mercer.

Background
Kima and Allura Vysoren have been friends since childhood. At some point in her life she chose to become a Paladin of Bahamut, the Platinum Dragon. While on pilgrimage for development of her growth as a Paladin, she went missing after informing Allura that she had a dark vision of evil taking root beneath Kraghammer, a Dwarven city. During her time in Kraghammer, she had hired several mercenaries to accompany her down into the mines. She managed to anger Nostoc Greyspine, and when the Carvers attempted to arrest her, she and her companions ran into the Greyspine Quarry as she needed to head that direction to find the source of evil. At some point while resting after journeying deep underground she and her party were ambushed by Duergar and she was taken to Emberhold for interrogation.

The Search for Kima
Lady Allura asked the adventuring group Vox Machina to find and bring her friend home. While searching beneath Kraghammer, the party noticed a couple of locations where it looked as though someone who worshiped Bahamut had made his symbols on several cave walls as if for protection.

After a small skirmish within some caverns, Vox Mochina captured and interrogated a Duergar in the hopes of learning the whereabouts of Lady Kima. The Duergar told them she had been captured.

During the raid of the Duergar warcamp, the general confirmed that Kima had been captured and was being held within the Emberhold.

Meeting Kima
During the infiltration of the Emberhold, the group made their way through the lower floors of the stronghold until they broke into the dungeons. After a fight with several Duergar including a Duergar torturer which Grog killed by slamming him onto several of his own torture devices, they found and rescued Lady Kima. While trying to decide what to do next, Kima noticed Clarota was with them. Originally stating she would not work with the Illithid, the group was able to convince both her and the Mind Flayer that together they stood a better chance of facing K'varn, the great evil she saw in her vision.

The Throne Room
Proceeding through the Emberhold to break the backbone of the Duergar assault on the surface, the group eventually made their way to the throne room. After a long fight, during which both Tiberius and Kima were turned to stone by Basilisk's, the Duergar king was defeated. However, his queen was able to gain control over Grog and teleport away from the fight after she successfully broke the ceiling, causing the entire keep to fill up completely with lava that horribly burned Vax's foot as the party escaped.

Glass And Bone
After a short rest during which Tiberius and Kima were unpetrified, Vox Machina then followed the Duergar queen deeper into the Underdark. While traveling deeper, they encountered an underground pass with a floor made up of glass, stone, and bone. Realizing an evil presence was ahead, the group traveled by air for a time until encountering a band of Duergar fighting one of K'varn's monstrosities. While fighting the creature, they discovered the field itself was an enemy as it would attempt to pull members of their party underground to join the rest of the dead. The creature was eventually defeated and the group escaped the undead fields. Eventually, the group found Grog. Incapacitated and surrounded by Duergar, Kima's now brainwashed mercenaries, an Illithid and the queen, a battle ensued. Vox Mochina won and managed to capture the queen. During interrogation, K'varn possessed the queen to see the people who where interfering with his plans before psychically killing her.

K'Varn
The party journeyed deeper into the Underdark, until they reached the home of the Illithids. After searching through the massive cavern for supplies and preparing for the final fight, Vox Machina launched a surprise attack on the Illithid Elderbrain pyramid in an attempt to both kill K'varn and free the Illithid from the Beholder's control. During the fight, Lady Kima was once again turned to stone, but Vox Machina successfully defeated K'varn. The party then barely escaped with their lives when Clarota betrayed them and the entire Illithid city came to attack them. After Tiberius teleported everyone back home, the group waited a day before unpetrifying Kima while they determined what to do with the Horn of Orcus, the artifact K'varn used to attain so much power.
