Eeek! Having not improved your Mind score, I am afraid that was unlikely, Heph- remember, you have to BEAT yur opponent's score, not just match it.
Luckily, The Xiao rolls -3 and misses.
Unluckily, he has performed a successful disengage (work out how if you want). You duck under the swing of his blow, but this gives him time to step away from the combat! He steps back again, still blocking your way to the door, links his blades and stands in front of you, blades outstretchd across his body (like Maul's sabre) as he waits for you to act.
Castor, Rade* attacked you both, that was the other blow. Unfortunately, as this was a Hands Without Shaodw attack, your dodge is illegal and I must cancel it.
Rade* rolls +2 for a 16. I am afraid Rade's counter-blow fails, and so Rade* hits, for four damage to Rade, six to Castor. Rade* looks rather smug about that...
Jericho rolls +1... which is a 17. With another blurring slash, he cuts into Rade for six damage, which has double-impaired him.
Castor* misses. Castor's return stroke is dodged by Castor*; I asusme it is a standard punch. Castor rolls +5; a hit! Four damage.

Rade* is going to try and finish the job- a Lightning Fist on Rade.
After which, Rade and Castor may strike.
Heph's up.
