Does defeating a monster with a spell or item count as a successful roll, blocking other tasks on that roll?

Question

Accepted Answer

Per the newest relayed publisher reply, no: defeating a monster with a spell or item is not a successful roll, so the dice can still complete or fail your own adventure tasks on that roll. An earlier relayed reply said defeating completes a task, which is contested.
