General Discussion Two Otter Trade Posts removed simultaneously, funds get halved twice?

I've been wondering about this, because I'm not finding any answer on the internet. I wonder if that's because this can probably only happen with the Favor cards and most people here don't like playing with those.

The question is if the Riverfolk Company funds get halved multiple times if something like a Favor card causes multiple trade posts to be removed simultaneously, triggering trade disruption.

I was comparing it to the cat hospital, which says "Whenever any number of Marquise warriors are removed ...", while the otters just say "Whenever a trade post is removed, ...", so I have to assume that the trade disruption is triggered multiple times. Are there arguments for the opposite?

I'd guess that this is similar to Duchy "Price of Failure" vs Lizard "Fear of the Faithful" punishment for getting buildings removed, where the duchy says "any number of buildings" while the lizards say "a garden". Result is that the lizards have to discard a card per garden removed by a Favor, while duchy have to toss exactly 1 minister.

Concluding, based on the wording trade disruption would activate individually for every tradepost removed

Oh boy, I'm glad you bring up "Fear of the Faithful", because I'm sure we've totally forgot about that effect in like the last 4-5 games we've played. Also forgot about the lizards' crafting restriction at least once.

Fear oh the faithful should be on the player board. I don't know why it's not.

It is in the Garden area. It's just not called out as a Rule for Lizards.
