(Just let me know if Cerlinde was handling the broom or just looking at it.)
Cerlinde's Fire Bolt sizzles across the room and smashes into the mannequin. It staggers backwards a bit, with its chest now alight with flame. After a brief pause, it moves toward Dyumi and takes a swing.
Mannequin - attack vs. Dyumi: 19, damage (slashing): 6
Syd... is... moving... in .... slow... motion... waiting... for... the ... minotaur.
Round 2
While appreciating the cleric's empathy for animate objects, Syd points out Dyumi's wounds to Ollezall and says, "He don't look so good, maybe try your 'tingle' on him?"
The orc, however is not quite as concerned for the mannequin's emotional well-being, and instead attempts to divide it into two parts with his greatsword.

Attack: 25 Damage: 12

Ollezall will make a medicine check to legitimise looking at the character sheets medicine check 8
"I can't see much blood, but I will give him a healing potion... You look a bit green and blue yourself. Reckon you can hold out? Remember you have a potion too."
Ollezall will give Dyumi a potion as his action in round 2.
Ollezall will do something unexpected: he will sheathe the mace, bow to the mannequin and wait.
"I don't think you like being hurt, right?"
Although the mannequin doesn't seem to respond to Ollezall's words, he can perceive that the mannequin is making absolutely no threatening moves against him and has no injurious intent. The mannequin only seems to be responding to attacks against it.
The orc, however is not quite as concerned for the mannequin's emotional well-being, and instead attempts to divide it into two parts with his greatsword.
Attack: 25 Damage: 12
As before, Syd is quite confident that he has struck a decisive blow with his masterful attack, but the sword fails to splinter the mannequin. Another clawed limb lashes out at you with incredible speed.
Mannequin - attack vs. Syd: 6, damage (slashing): 9
Syd manages to dodge out of the way, narrowly avoiding a severe wound. He is puzzled that the mannequin is still standing. Can he determine if the dummy is completely impervious to his sword, or if it is taking damage but less than expected?

Mohdrak turned around. The diagrams seemed to suggest some sort of combination between physical prowess and the usage of magic, something quite interesting from a holistic view on the development of both mind and body, but there was something else that demanded his attention.
'Why are we attacking a practice dummy?'He asked those who did, arms crossed and an eyebrow raised. 'Poorly, I might add.'
The orc furrows his brow. "Because that is the whole reason for existence of practice dummies? They aren't made for decoration... their purpose is for a warrior to practice hitting something that doesn't hit back. This one is clearly confused as to its mission."
Dyumi will cast Healing word for 5 hp (rolled in sheet) and then Attack with his Shillelagh staff Attack: 26 Damage: 9

(I'll give you a pass on the nat 1 for now, since it's probably on me for not clearly conveying this.)
The mannequin is more damaged than when you first came into the room, so your attacks are having an impact. However, based on your past training and battles, for some reason your greatsword is not having its usual effect on this mannequin. It's clearly designed to take a considerable beating, but there may be more to it than that. You are mystified as to how much more damage this thing might endure.
In any case, for the moment the mannequin is simply standing there while you and Dyumi lick your wounds, and you and Mohdrak debate the propriety of this use of Fistandia's property.

(Don't worry about it, your posts are always worth the wait! I play in an online live game w/some folks in Portugal, so I definitely appreciate how cool it is to bring people from all over the world together to play. PbP is certainly interesting in that regard.)
Syd regards the minotaur squintily for a moment, then breaks into a roar of laughter. "Of course!" he chortles, "Slayer of furniture, that's me!".
Mirthful tears fall from his eyes, so amused is he. He grins at Mohdrak. "You're a hoot!" he says, clapping the hybrid on the back. He then turns back to face the mannequin. "Well, clearly, the direct approach is not the correct one here. Someone smarter than me should figure out what we should do next."
He then quaffs his healing potion for 266 healing.

I think I'm the only one 'from down under' so trust me, we are all out of sync to some degree. I just have flexibility to use my phone because I'm a remote worker. It's 8am here haha
(Really great playing with you all!). Cerlinde says “it seems like it fights for the purposes of training- and if we leave it alone- it is harmless. I wonder if there is value in these diagrams- perhaps some unknown techniques?”. She studies the diagrams of the fighting styles on the wall.
Dyumi will cast Healing word for 5 hp (rolled in sheet) and then Attack with his Shillelagh staff Attack: 26 Damage: 9
(Sorry, missed that this one was submitted during the super slow composition of my subsequent post! This response is a little out of order, now that the party seems to have figured out that going after the mannequin may not be wise, but consider it as a direct response to the time it was posted.)
Dyumi's strike smashes into the mannequin and it shudders under the impact of the enchanted quarterstaff. However, as with Syd, the mannequin responds to the attack with its own, sending a swipe at Dyumi.
Mannequin - attack vs. Dyumi: 18, damage (slashing): 6

(For Mohdrak and Cerlinde, who have studied the diagrams, please give yourselves a +1 to hit w/melee weapons and +1 to AC for the next combat encounter. Remind me if I forget!)
To Dyumi; "do you want to hold on to that healing potion for later, or would you rather I carry it?"
To the group; "how hurt is everyone? I can give you healing potions, or if everyone is just a little bruised I can do a prayer of healing which will heal everyone a little (10HP shared across the party who want healing, to no more than half your maximum). I plan on making a few more potions of healing if we can get back to the kitchen for long enough for me to grind the ingredients and brew it down to a tonic."
How long have we been at the mansion? I also need to discuss what the DMs expectations are for brewing a healing potion; there isn't clear guidance RAW. Other than it takes a day and 25gp
