What?  This surprises me...  Cards are replenished at the ends of scenes. 
Cards lost or spent during the scene are gone.  They do not reappear
until (and unless) the character survives the whole scene.

Here again, stymies with fear, setbacks from fear, and marks of death all
last the whole scene, or until the affected character makes an individual
perserverence check.

The big question still seems to me, "Prithee, whence the Fear Points?" 
This also follows from the fact that SK Occult events trigger pers.
checks, again without an apparent source of Fear Points.  

My solution is this:  if the event is minor, such as your dead body, give
everyone a 'Stymied with Fear' condition, or take away one card.  If it is
a majorly distressing event that causes the failed check, use two fear
points -- setbacks, remove two cards, one card + stymie, or, if combat is
to take place later in the scene, Mark for Death.
