Strobist.com can give you some good ideas about basic kit parameters.
I haven't tried to do this with Pentax, but if it's feasible for you to shoot tethered (to a laptop), it can be great for situations like this because you can see (and your subject can see) in real time how the RAW images look. That gives you an opportunity to fix glaring problems in your lighting, subject's clothing, background (oh, goodness, there's something growing out of the back of her head) and body position. Yes, you can look at the images on your camera, but being able to blow them up to laptop screen size can be really helpful.
I would definitely recommend that you start by mastering one strobe (plus modifiers) before getting into multi-light set-ups.
