Investigation into Gumpaste Hobbit tragedy…

Gumpaste Gandalf and Gumpaste Bilbo discuss what to pack for their upcoming trip.

Investigators are now at the scene of the horrendous tragedy where it appears that Gumpaste Thorin has had an accident. Witnesses offered that Gumpaste Gandalf zapped poor GT with his staff in an experiment and sent GT crashing to the floor where his Creator found him moments later.

At the moment, emergency crews are trying to put Gumpaste Thorin back together. Updates to follow.

Bystanders at the crime scene say Gumpaste Gandalf and Gumpaste Bilbo were seen leaving the scene immediately in what some described as yet another “adventure”. While no statement has been made by the suspects, it is thought that they will be “There and back again” but their travel plans could not be confirmed.

Gumpaste lies in sad sad heap, missing half of his nose, one side of his mustache , an arm, a foot/leg and most of his lovely windblown hair. Tis a dreary day indeed.

Other witnesses, Kili and Fili who are not of Gumpaste fame yet, implied that Gumpaste Thorin and Gumpaste Bilbo were in a heated argument prior to the “accident” concerning who was to get the last piece of cake but this also could not be confirmed. It is, however, a widely know fact that Gumpaste Thorin has a propensity for chocolate, including cake and especially chocolate ice cream.

Further investigations will be made by the insuring company involved, Mutual of Erebor. Leading the investigation will be a Mr. Smaug R. Dragon. Details to follow….
