Provoked Violence: Political Open (*) : Bow your target unbowed Courtier. Destroy a target attachment with Gold Cost less than or equal to the amount of Gold paid, plus 3 if you control a Yojimbo.
Incendiary Archers: Force 2/Chi 0 Gold Cost: 4 Battle, bow: Ranged 2 Attack. Battle: Fear 2.
If I want to destroy to follower Incendiary archers with Provoked Violence. How much gold should I pay, whether I have a Yojimbo and bow my courtier?
regards,

Well, first off, you have to have an unbowed Courtier to meet the action's required targeting at take it in Good Faith.
And if you control a Yojimbo, here's what you can do. Pay 1 Gold. Then, you can target any attachment with Gold Cost "less than or equal to the amount of Gold paid, plus 3 if you control a Yojimbo". You paid 1 (+3, you control a Yojimbo), so less than or equal to 4. Yay, dead Archers!
