This gave her a damage of STR x2 (14) plus success levels (21) times 4 = 84 points.
Hmmm. I have 1/e, not 2/e, but it gives 6 success levels, not 7, for a roll of 21-23. Which would give a total of 20.
But, also, I don't believe that the "through the heart" multiplier is applied that way. You have a multiplier of x2 for slash/stab damage or bullet damage, applied after summing everything up; so if you weren't doing "through the heart," damage would be (14+6) x2 = 40. But you don't use the x2 multiplier with "through the heart" attacks. Rather, they have a base damage of STR x4. So STR x4 = 28; plus success levels = 34; times one = 34. At least, that's how I would play it.
