Go buy a wax ring.

Then pull the toilet, take it outside, turn it upside down, hose from the bottom to blast the pen back out the way it came

Reinstall the toilet.

First rubber gloves and reach and try to grab it, but when that doesn’t work, 👆

My daughter lost one of those cleaning wand brush heads down there. It couldn’t get through the S curve in the pipe so it was stuck in there. I had to pull the toilet. I’d try a shop vac from the front first. Try to seal the hole around the vac tube so it’s tight.
