Easy for you to say.
You don't have to live with the pain of knowing it's there.

Gypsum is not flammable and Sheetrock is pretty fire resistant by design.
Leave it.
This.
Plus your vent pipe is double walled (pipe within a pipe) so the outside will not get very hot.

Call Yeah Yeah over, strap a cheat guard to him, and lower him down in there.

The problem with that is the hole is too small. Even for yeah yeah. i could enlarge it though and drop more pieces down for him to pick up.

I'd be more worried that the fall of the sheetrock caused damage to the fireplace cylinder which if you start a fire may cause your house to burn down.
Of course you need to get the sheetrock out of there (the construction adhesive and rope idea will work), but I'd also have a professional inspect your fireplace for peace of mind.

Hmmm i really hadnt considered that. It appears to be unharmed from the incident but that is just from me looking at it from the attic through the missing sheetrock hole.

I'm overly paranoid. If something fell 10 feet through my fireplace well, I'd be FAR more concerned that my fireplace cylinder was damaged than the item that fell. No way in hell I'd start a fire until after the fireplace had been inspected.

1) the treble hook idea - duck taped to a piece of bamboo or small pvc pipe or wood trim/molding has merits -
a) if unable to actually hook it
b) you might get under it, but care would be needed to not potentially drop into a worst spot. If handy you might make a couple hooks to do the same thing on two different rods.
2) an old broad-head might also work attached to end of something... stab/rotate, and pull it back up... could just tape old arrow this way shaft and all (especially old and bent one)
3) along idea of frog gig idea - you might fashion something like this?
it's a point for fishing arrow for perspective
you could drill a couple angled holes through sharpened end of something and insert two small nails pointing up - again the stab/rotate/pull idea. A single bent nail through might work, but it could rotate once weighted.
(yes - some of these ideas were stole from above) - (GOOD LUCK)

We've already solved the best way to get the sheetrock out of the cavity. We've moved on to questioning whether or not the fire cylinder itself is damaged...

Well, you look like the chimney sweep?
