i'm using the sinister citadel and i have a secluded outpost along with some other random holdings in play let's say 2 marshes. i bow secluded outpost and 1 marsh to produce 7 gold to buy a 5 gold dude. i bring mr 5 gold into play then i use my dynasty action on my stronghold to flip the newly face-down province face up to reveal a different 5 gold dude. i bow my other marsh to add 3 gold to my lingering 2 gold to pay for the new 5 gold dude and bring him into play. can i now use my interrupt on the secluded outpost to give an attachment to either of these personalities since i used secluded outpost to produce gold that could have potentially been used to pay for both dudes? or can i only use that interrupt immediately after bringing 1 of them into play? as in if i opt not to attach to the first dude i can only then attach to the second dude?

Secluded Outpost actually interrupts the Recruit action, but it needs to be the one during which it bowed. So it only affects the first Personality in your scenario.
