The party starts at the amusement park, with several party members Out
Of It.  They wake up Trowa, and eventually Varan.

Trowa and Varan figure out how their axes work.

The turn on Ten Magistrate Eyes, Air Dragon Sight, Spirit Detecting
Glance, All Encompassing Sorcerer's Sight, and some Infrared optics.
Then they enter the tunnels, up near the faux-Indian campsite.  They
make it through the first 200' or so, then meet some vines.  Flame
works even when it's immaterial.  They continue down to the pond with
the truck parts, and determine their cargo beds have been removed.
Continuing to explore, they find a forking tunnel into the deeps.
Chucking plasma grenades ahead of themselves, they blow up most of
the vine here.  At the end of the tunnel is a several-yard geode, now
shattered by grenades.  It is (was) a natural demesne, focusing
Essence to feed the vine.

Exploring more tunnels, the party finds --- an electronic gizmo nestled
up in a collection of vines.  Behind that... another geode, also an
Essence lens.  Smaller this time, but with a big thorny root bulb in
the middle.  Varan chops it open with his Force Axe, then flames the
soft pulpy part inside.

The other tunnels are similar --- the highest has a proto-geode buried
under potting soil with a human heart.  Further investigating shows
that the Bad Guys took the stuff away in cargo hovercraft, over to
the train station.  The PCs follow, steal some trucks, and drive at
ludicrous speeds after them.

They catch up, Varan jetpacks over to the front bad-guy-truck while
Zance Irresistibly Puppeteers the driver of the back bad-guy-truck.

The party recovers its employees from the Rent-A-Horde and the
non-military artifacts from the European Archaeological Dig.
There are still a dozen or so people who fled from the trucks (a
faster truck, maybe?) towards the airport, presumably with the
combat-useful artifacts.

Next run: chasing down the Bad Guys with the Stolen Daiklaves, and
maybe Wiping Out the Big Bads.

Here is 14 XP to the party.
