Jasmine Concentration save for damage: 11 (Shield of Faith still up)
The bolt whizzes through the air and sticks into Jasmine's chest. However, she can't quite hit back with Bogdan so close and getting in the way of her ranged magic. She glares at him, riding around and trying to attack Tayvon and her eyes soon glow golden. She draws her war-hammer and it shimmers with magic energy and then she swings, trying to knock Bogdan off his horse. As her hammer makes contact with the bandit captain's side and crushes a few ribs, there's an explosion of holy and thunderous energy. That strike was fueled by Jasmine's potent magic.

Bogdan's attacks are too numerous for Jasmine to block but she doesn't seem to even try. Instead of raising her shield, she instead raises her war hammer and from it, extends a much larger, translucent blue shield made of pure magic that repels all of attacks.
Jasmine was quite pleased that the bandits tried to focus fire her. Between her magic and her heavy armor, she was quite prepared to handle a barrage of attacks, a fact that she proved with the crossbow bolts breaking against her armor and the magic shield repelling the captain's attacks. Now it was time to counter attack. She pulls her war hammer back, it shining with magic as she takes aim at Bogdan. "RAGH!" Jasmine lets out a war cry and bashes the captain. This time though, her swing misses.
A protective shield shrouds Jasmine, giving off abjuration magic in a bright flash of purple light. Bogdan looks at his scimitar in disbelief while the others begin to lose their morale.
Round 4 Domi casts another magic missile, one missile hits Mudface 3, two missiles hit Bogdan 2, 3
Yoku uses a bonus action to move hunter's mark, "Bogdan, yield or we may take your life." Yoku targets Bogdan, hunter's mark, longbow Attack: 16 Damage: 11
Yoku uses a bonus action to move hunter's mark, "Bogdan, yield or we may take your life." Yoku targets Bogdan, hunter's mark, longbow Attack: 22 Damage: 12
The crossbow bolt manages to break through Jasmine's defenses and stick into her chest. Which opens her up to a follow-up strike from the captain, slashing across her torso. Even with these wounds, Jasmine holds her ground and can keep fighting. She responds, "If you won't surrender then so be it. The round will be safer without the likessss of you anyway." She swings again at Bogdan though her war hammer barely misses.
Jasmine first turns to Eren and makes sure he's alright. "Sssssorry about that. I felt that what they were demanding from ussss was too much. Are you alright?" Jasmine's voice still has the drawn out hiss sounds as the last bits of adrenaline from the fight still lingers. Of course, now that it has been revealed that Jasmine is very much an evil Snake Monstrosity, it is not clear how much at east Eren will feel. Especially given the fact that Jasmine seemed to drain the residual life force off of Bodgan when he died to heal himself.
As for the tracks, Jasmine will let those more experienced look at those. She is more concerned with looting the bandits.
Also Jasmine regains 8 HP when Bogdan dies due to Hexblade's Curse. Bringing her back up to 44/61
As for the tracks, Jasmine will let those more experienced look at those. She is more concerned with looting the bandits.
Eren suggests that they move the wagons off of the road, while the party takes a short rest. "If you want to follow those tracks to the old barn out there, I'll stay here and watch the wagons."
Domi says, "It seems like there may be more. We will need to cover our tracks if we plan to leave the rest of the bandits alone. Let's move the bodies into the back of the wagons, so that at least it will be difficult for the rest of the bandits to piece together what happened here and maybe they won't track us down."
Yoku speaks up, "Or, we could finish the job. Track down the remaining bandits and take them out."
Tayvon adds, "What if these really are members of the Queens Men and we are just calling them bandits to justify our actions."
