Rules Q&A

• Q: I'm writing because a question appeared in my head after reading this thread. It is stated there, that reaction granted by Koshin Keep allows us to destroy only 1 card per RA sequence, but what about Thunder's Wrath?
  Thunder's Wrath: "Battle: Destroy this card: Ranged 4 Attack with +2 strength if it targets a Follower. If this Shugenja is Thunder and the Ranged Attack destroyed a Follower, Ranged 4 Attack."
  Koshin Keep: "Recon Reaction: After engaging: You have Reconnaissance at the current battlefield. Until this battle ends, your Ranged Attacks that do not destroy their target have the additional effects, "reduce the target's Force by the Ranged Attack's strength and you may take an additional Ranged Attack Battle action that may only target the same card"."
  Let's say that we have a 5F personality with a massive followe attached, let's say something with another 8F. First is some minor RA3 into follower, followed with a destruction of our spell, that gives us RA 9 total into follower which is enough to kill him. Because our spell destroyed a Follower we can now make another RA 4. And here is my exact question - can this additional RA benefit from Koshin Keep bonus and therefor we can kill more than one kard with a continious ranged sequence?
  A: Edited for clarity:
  If follower's destruction from Thunder's Wrath is taken via an additional action granted by Koshin Keep, because the Ranged 4 is part of the same Ranged Attack Battle Action, it would still need to target the same card (per Koshin Keep's text).
  If the follower's destruction from Thunder's Wrath is not via a Koshin Keep additional action, then the Ranged 4 may start a Koshin Keep ranged attack chain, for lack of a better word, on its target. Jon Palmer, "Koshin Keep + Thunder's Wrath", 29 Apr 2012
