A question - It's Da Bomb!

One of my players got the level 3 card Da Bomb that has a 3 ranged attack. But the card only state that the token left by the bomb attacks an enemy hero that enter the space, not WHAT it attack with. I've read the FAQ, and can glean from it that each space can have more than one bomb token and that rerolls on the hero equipped with the bomb card doesn't work.
That leaves me with two possible scenarios:

1 - The token attack the character with 3 black dice, no matter the number of tokens.
2 - The tokens make ONE attack with as many black dice as there are tokens.

So far we've played with the first option and that a space containing multiple tokens cause multiple attacks, one for eachtoken at 3 dice. But it would be nice to have an official ruling (or at least hear what other people think).

from page 27 of the rulebook, this is how to resolve bomb attacks.

"Bombs can be extremely dangerous, which is why each Guild
can only possess a single Bomb card at a time. When a Bomb
card is used, resolve the attack normally against the targeted
Character. If the Attack roll scores any hits, it creates an incendiary
minefield around it. Place one Guild token in the target’s
Space and in all Spaces Close to it. If an Enemy Hero enters a
Space with one of these tokens, he suffers an attack like the
original Bomb attack (though any Abilities or Rerolls don't apply
to this attack)
and that Guild token is removed from the board."

So you were correct in that the token did a ranged 3 attack against the enemy hero entering the space.

And then to address multiple bomb tokens triggering we refer to a later part of the rulebook on page 27.

"If a Hero enters a Space containing multiple
Enemy Guild tokens, they all explode simultaneously. Add the
dice for all Bombs involved into a single attack. If a Hero is killed
in such a simultaneous attack, all Guilds involved in the attack
get the credit for the kill."

I have a followup question:
Since the trigger is moving into a space with a Guild Token (bomb) - that would mean it also work with windblasts and Pluck's ability?
Bombs also seem to work well with Pluck's ability, as it's a non magic ranged weapon, and since multiple simultaneous effects are resolved by the order the active player chooses.

I don't believe the bomb rule has any special cases between being moved or using a movement point. So I would think that windblasting another hero into a bomb space would trigger the bomb to go off on that hero. Same with Pluck's ability. Which seems to fit the theme for pluck since he's literally carrying bombs around. Also for reference here are links to the core rulebook and the v1 FAQ that also contains errata.
