Group Simple Contests

Hi all!

I have some problems with group simple contests.

  1. Suppose there's two characters per side. Side A obtains a natural critical and a failure. Side B two successes, the lower being, say, 3. What's the outcome? Side A wins with a critical vs. side B's success (minor victory)? Or side B wins with a success vs. side A higher roll (1 for the critical + 3 for the failure) (marginal victory)? In this latter case, if the critical wasn't a natural 1 but another number bumped up by mastery, you would compare that roll+3 (for the failure) against side B's roll or would you count the critical as a rolled 1 regardless of what the dice actually shows? Or does side B win because overall two success are better than a crit and a failure. In this case, what's the degree of victory?
  2. How does the mastery canceling rule work when you have mixed groups of mastery and non mastery types in a group simple contest?

Many thanks in advance for the answers!
