Do Miss Chances Stack?

Now, how do "when attacked" effects work with miss chances?

Say my mage is lucky, has awe, has fire shield cast and is carrying an eye shield. Now a lowly militia attacks my mage but:
1) the attack misses because his attack failed to exceed my mage's defense (in this case let's assume the personal luck spell had no effect).

2) the attack misses because luck deflected the attack.

3) the attack "fails" because the militia is overcome by awe and doesn't attack.

In scenario 1, does the militia unit suffer from the fire shield? Does he suffer from the eye shield?
In scenario 2, does the militia unit suffer from the fire shield? Does he suffer from the eye shield?
In scenario 3, does the militia unit suffer from the fire shield? Does he suffer from the eye shield?

Also, does the eye-loss effect of the eye shield first need to get past the target's magic resistance or is it an unavoidable effect?

An unrelated question I have that I'm wondering if you guys know the answer to:

Say I have two W1S1 casters communion slaved to a W2F1S1 communion master who casts Acid Rain (evo 4 - W3F1). The spell requires W3 to cast and the slaves would have an effective W2 each (native W and +1 to all paths for fatigue purposes from 2 slaves) so they'd suffer 2x the fatigue of the spell (base 30 x2 = 60) divided between the two of them plus whatever fatigue the master incurs (even after reading Baalz communion guide I'm still a little shaky on how spell fatigue is divided among the slaves and master(s)).

However, this water spell also requires a single path of fire. Does that further add to the fatigue cost? If the communion slaves or communion master had F2, would that reduce the fatigue cost?

For multi-path spells, other than the spell's description, is there any way to tell which path contributes to which +/-? For example, a spell might have range of 20+, damage of 15+, 3+ number of effects and fatigue of 30-; how do you know whether it is the primary or the secondary path which effects which + and -?
