You're right. Well, it wouldn't affect to the degree of -20. I'll reduce
it to -5, so an additional +15 overall.

OK, that'll give you an additional +6. Total +21 extra.

So reallocating the results:

13 versus 15. Major success to The Fourth, explosion seriously wounds
cultist, plus Pyrrhic Victory (Injured, now -30)
10 versus 16. Major success to The Fourth, explosion seriously wounds cultist,
plus Pyrrhic Victory (Injured, now -40)
15 versus 9. Minor success to The Fourth, explosion wounds
cultist, plus Pyrrhic Victory (Dying, equivalent of -20, now -60)
18 versus 11. Minor success to The Fourth, explosion wounds
cultist, plus Pyrrhic Victory (Dying, now -80)
13 versus 7. Major success to The Fourth, explosion seriously wounds cultist, plus
Pyrrhic Victory (Injured, now -70)
16 versus 18. Minor success to The Fourth, explosion wounds
cultist, plus Pyrrhic Victory (Dying, now -100).

Wow, that puts you with a -5W wound! :)
