After kicking Kivan near Spellhold - where can I find him to join again?

If I remember correctly, if you kick him he's gone for good.

Shilmista. He has things to do (namely depart and rejoin Deheriana), so if you dismiss him, he leaves. The TDD version of Kivan if that's what you are talking about won't have the dialogues assigned.

P#Kivan is what you want to summon this particular Kivan.

Let the game run for a bit quietly. The talks scheduled every 15 minutes, so Aerie should talk to her again, or her healing sequence schould kick in. If it doesn't, try this:

SetGlobal("P#DeherTrial","GLOBAL",1) via Clua, or set it to 1 in the ShadowKeeper

It should push forward the dialogue.

If not, please, send me the saved game, I will see what's stopping it.

[Domi]

Seems that something was glitching in your game, so you missed a couple of conversations, and Deheriana scheduled herself to die. To correct this, just set:
("P#AerieSupport","GLOBAL",3)

and then

("P#DeherianaLives","GLOBAL",2)

that should 'push' the restoration banter right away.

As far as I know, in v8, as in the previous versions, a PC of a healing class can restore Deheriana. Witness the readme:

If PC is a male or not interested in capturing Kivan's heart, Deheriana's story arc will develop in the end of the game. To see the story in full, please do not miss the talks with Aphril, Demin and Ellesime (in the end of the game). A happy ending of Deheriana's story will occur if Aerie or Cernd are in the party or if PC is one of the healing classes (Ranger, Druid, Cleric or Paladin)

Why Cernd and Aerie?

I was looking for chracters with a) strong healing (not spell-casting power, but character feel) b) non-judgemental and c) warm to Kivan personally. Aerie is my strongest candidate, due to her story of healing a child she does not know anything about, her heart's goodness remaining unchanged, non-embittered while exposed to cruelty. She also immediately recognizes Kivan as an elder-brother type figure, and their relationship is quite cordial. Cernd is a character whose very warm potential was imo never explored in the game, and I thought it to be an ideal chance for him to show his quality. Another important thing for me was his backstory, where he leaves his wife and it results in her death. This imo will enable him to understand and not berate Kivan's efforts to not let go of his loved one. And, Kivan and Cernd form a good solid friendship.

Why not Jaheira?

The strongest reason of them all is that every time Jaheira faces with the ressurection and restoration - both in Khalid's and Sarevok's cases - she is adamantly against it. While she makes an effort, when Deheriana is ressurected, to see if there is anything there left of the living woman, she does not continue, because there is too much in her that is against it. Also, this will be putting Jaheira in a terrible situation, again, regarding Khalid. i don't think it can be developped, without writing additional suit of talks for Jaheira, especially if Jaheira romances PC.

Why not Anomen?

He just don't get enough patience, enough understanding. He is young, rush and far from being infinetly kind. The game also suggests that Anomen is a racist, so the whole elven dilemma will imo irritate him - elves who whine about something weird while humans have to deal with real troubles, real evil etc.

Why not Viconia?

By one simple reason - she hates Kivan's guts, and I was to write her reaction it would have ended up as a negative one, that would have sent Deheriana back to hurt Kivan. My veiw of Viconia being extreme, clashing badly with the majority's view, and me not prepared to irritate Viconia's fans, I simply avoid writing anything Kivan-related for Viconia.

Brilliant.
