Oh well, I'll treat it as a punch. In any case, all attacks miss and so we may move on!
Speed roll was a 4.

The attacks on Castor are:
Hand of the Jade Emperor from Jericho
Sweep of the Grasshopper from Castor*
Lightning Fist from Rade*
The Xiao Emo, meanwhile, will launch an Embrace of the Mantis at Heph.
Rade* and Castor*, hampered by impairment, both miss. a -6 from Jericho is very welcome as well! Jericho Fox's Retreats against the counter blow. You actually roll +6, Castor, which is a hit- but without enough force to actually hurt him.
The Xiao Emo rolls evens, and is blokced- he does indeed immediately repeat the attack with the Unyielding Grip. However, his +2 isn;t good enough to hit against the Scholar's Hold.

I am always delighted when people develop their own combos!
