Natacia's felt something hard struck her jaw with such force that it caused her vision flash white for a moment.  She could tell by experience that the attack was meant to incapacitate her, not kill. Which could be worse if it would lead to something she dreaded to undergo again.  Fortunately for her, she has somewhat recovered her strength and it would take more than that hit to subdue her.<br/><br/>Recovering from the blow, she gets to discern her assailant who was heavily cloaked in crimson.  Amber, serpentine eyes were visible from depths of the cowl of the hooded figure, staring at Natacia balefully.  This caused an unnerving feeling to crawl over Natacia, rooting her to where she stood and making her a virtual sitting duck for her attacker.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Attacker rolls 22 to hit and causes 9 points of nonlethal damage to Natacia.  In addition, she suffers -4 to AC for one round which carryover to the attacker's next attack.
