Temporizing Ground and The Wind Never Stops

L5R CCG Rules board, 23 July 2011

A player, 23 July 2011

I play Temporizing Ground. My opponent takes a battle action. Temporizing Ground states that he gives one of his personalities or followers a -3F penalty. Can I react with The Wind Never Stops to do a ranged attack on the personality? Does Utaku Kohana EXP gain 1h for each of these penalties or just the first time it happens?

Similarly I play Three Stone River/Battlefield Of Shallow Graves. Can I react during battle resolution with The Wind Never Stops to do a ranged attack on a personality without followers who has their force reduced? Does Utaku Kohana EXP gain 1 honor?

Relevant Text:

Temporizing Ground Terrain Battle: After the resolution of each action, except this one, the player who took the action targets one of his unbowed Personalities or Followers with a Force of 1 or greater at the current battlefield and gives that card -3F.

Battlefield Of Shallow Graves Terrain Battle: Double each of the enemy leader's Honor gains until the battle ends; destroying this Terrain does not end this effect. Before this battle's resolution, reduce the Force of each Personality in the enemy army to half his Force at that time, rounded up.

Battlefield Of Shallow Graves Terrain Battle: Before this battle’s resolution, reduce the Force of each Personality at this battlefield to the Force of his highest Force Follower, or to 1 if he has no Followers.

Utaku Kohana EXP After the resolution of an action which gave a Force penalty to any enemy cards at the current battlefield, if Kohana is there: Gain 1 Honor. Battle: Bow Kohana: Bow a target enemy Personality with lower Personal Honor.

The Wind Never Stops Reaction: After the resolution of a Battle action you took that gave a Force penalty to an enemy Follower or Personality without Followers, choose your performing Battle Maiden at the current battlefield: Ranged Attack with strength equal to her Personal Honor which must target the enemy card.

Second Question. I buy a Minting House along with either Barley Farm or Seaside Bazaar.

Do the Reactions on Barley Farm/Seaside Bazaar produce 2 Gold? Relevant text:

Barley Farm Farm Bow this card: Produce 1 Gold. Reaction: When paying a Gold cost: Produce 1 Gold. (This can be used together with bowing this card to produce Gold).

Seaside Bazaar Farm • Market • Port Bow this card: Produce 2 Gold. Reaction: When paying a Gold Cost: Produce 1 Gold. (This can be used together with bowing this card to produce Gold.)

Minting House Unique While this card is unbowed, your Gold-producing Holdings produce one additional Gold each time they produce Gold.

The Wind Never Stops and Kohana Exp cannot react to any of the actions you listed.

Both TWNS's action and Kohana's trait react "After the resolution" of the action, which means directly after. However, the Force penalties they give don't trigger until well after that time point has passed.

While Minting House is unbowed, yes, they do.
