What Do I Do????
#22
Now that I've got the smartass comments out of the way here's some real help.
Pull the throttle body and see if you can see the bag and contents and remove. It's pretty obvious how to do this step.
If you don't retrieve them the next step is to pull the intake manifold. For a write up on the procedure see Marcucci's step by step on installing the Hondata gasket. It covers the procedure you require.

You need to be very aware that significant damage could have been done to your engine because of this unfortunate event. However, if you're lucky, the bag and its contents will still be somewhere in the intake tract.
If not, may I suggest an alternative strategy? How about being HONEST with the dealership? Have the car transported to the shop and then have them take the engine apart until the wayward parts are found. If the parts made it into the engine, the only solution to getting them out is to remove the head. Then you need to hope that the valves, pistons and cylinder walls weren't damaged. Maybe I'm wrong, but it really doesn't sound like you understand the basics of engine teardown procedures. If you haven't done a head removal before, it's a job for a qualified mechanic.
Good luck, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.
