Can you stack Secluded Outpost interrupts?

Hi Rules Team,

Secluded Outpost reads:

Bow: Produce 4 Gold. Tireless Interrupt, * : If this Holding bowed to produce Gold to Recruit a Personality, Equip an attachment to him from your hand for 4 less Gold after he enters play.

If I bow two Secluded Outposts to pay for one guy, would I be able to enact both interrupts upon him and thus attach something to him for 8 less gold?

At first I didn't think so but then I noticed that the point at which I bow to produce gold, the point at which I take the interrupt action, and the point at which the personality are separate points of timing. This would mean that it's perfectly possible for me to take the interrupt actions from two copies of Secluded Outpost if I had them available before the target Recruited Personality ever entered play. So while my theory is sound, I'm just not sure if the two interrupts would stack and thus allow me to equip for 8 less gold.

So, would they stack?

Thank you!

You may attach two different attachments, for 4 gold less each. In that sense, it does "stack". But you can't apply the same effect twice for the same attachment. Each Interrupt resolves independently and has its effects fully applied (ie the Equip effects apply in their entirety) before the second Interrupt's effects begin to apply.
