 My questions (before this comes up) does good ol' Sheol have to roll for
 Arcane Protection vs. every missile of MIRV, or does one roll cancel the
 one roll made for the miracle.
 
 then I thought, well, what if good ol' Sheol was not the sole target of
 MIRV or ICBM...lets say some ravenite he has not driven off yet is also
 being offered a get out of life free.  would Sheol's roll cancel the
 miracle at all? only what was fired at him? does dividing it prevent him
 from being able to roll?

As long as the Harrowed is a direct target of the spell he can cancel it. 
This would save the other targets of the spell as well.
 
 nouther thought.
 
 Lets say our new Friend Sheol has some purple robes and Nuke.  Lets say he
 tries to use this on an anti-Templar that he is not overly fond of at the
 moment.  now if said AT used Deflection.  Good Ol' Sheol decides to Vamoose
 to Arcane Protection. can he AP his own shot he just fired? I'd say yes,
 but looking for opinions.

I'd have to think that Arcane protection wouldn't work in this case. When it 
works, it prevents the spell from being cast, it doesn't absorb it or nullify 
it after casting. In this case, for the anti-Templar to deflect it, the spell 
has already been successfully cast.
 
 last, while the aforementioned PC does not have it, I had a question about
 Bad Mojo.  can Bad Mojo be used on Junkers doing tool tricks in the
 Harrowed's presence, if he knows about them? I ask as usually Bad Mojo is
 used on Hucksters and Hexslingers, forcing them to draw more cards only to
 check for Jokers (the cards are otherwise useless except to check for
 backlash) . Given Tool Tricks work on a similar principal (just that
 its...usually...tech spirits) can the Harrowed get him manitou to try to
 get other manitous to intervene?  Tool tricks require one card be drawn to
 check for a Joker (or two in one case) can Bad Mojo make them draw more,
 given a similar process is happening? >>


Bad mojo works normally against junkers. The Harrowed's manitou summons 
others to the scene, increasing the odds that the junker might accidentally 
contact one.
