Can a focused die or a die on a spell finish the last task when your dice pool is empty?

Several posters report the same reply from the publisher, and they agree; no printed rule settles it.

Most players say yes. A focused die sits outside the dice pool, so its result can complete a task even when you have no dice left to roll, and the adventure is not failed. Dice secured on spells are read the same way. Not everyone agrees: some hold that with an empty pool the adventure ends, and that completing a task this way needs more than one task per roll.
