What benefits do you retain after a character dies?

Do you still get AcP for the scenario? Downtime? Gold? XP? Prestige?

What benefits do you retain after a character dies during a session, assuming the remaining agents were still largely successful in their mission? What differs between the character getting resurrected, and not?

For example, let's say that my expensive awakened animal was killed during the last session. Prior to the session, I did not have enough AcP for a resurrection. However, if I retain the AcP for the session in which she died, then I'll have just enough for the boon.

You have to resolve a dead character before reporting as otherwise the character gets reported as dead and purchasing resurrection boons is no longer an option.

If you are managing to fix your dead status you should receive the same rewards as everyone else in the party scaled to your level as always.

It's a bit of a corner case, but given the guide text (emphasis is mine):

Quote:
Players can also use the Second Chance AcP Boon (to clear death) or the Pathfinder Condition Removal AcP Boon (to clear all other conditions.) When it is not feasible to purchase these Boons immediately after the game, GMs are encouraged to work with players to ensure that the Boon is purchased in as timely a fashion as possible, and not immediately mark the character “dead” as above.

I think it might not be wholly intended by the earlier text, but I still think it would be fine, to have the GM report the game and the character purchasing the second chance immediately afterwards. It would be weird to have a character die permanently in a scenario that results in you having enough acp for a resurrection.
