Gandalf was startled, but tried to keep his cool. Every single person (elves etc included) in the party turned to stare at Elminster in shock, including Deathkiller, having barely just recovered from the shock of having a plate of ready-sliced cake landing right before him/her/it.

"I knew it," groaned Luke Skywalker. "I should never have come..."

At length Frodo walked out. "Uhhh, dear sir, please," he said to the rude stranger, "this is meant to be an auspicious occasion. It would be greatly appreciated if you were to desist from any threats of violence against my guests."

"Auspicious my butt!!" cried Elminster. "The no-good bum pilfered my wife's panties, do you know that? Now I must settle this score with him!"

"Elminster, I'm sure it must be a misunderstanding. I would never do that sort of thing, you know me. Okay, Saruman might. But certainly not me."
