In anticipation that Talon is an asset and not some cursed sword, and assuming it has normal Longsword properties (ie it’s not a finesse weapon) my logic based argument is that it may make the most sense for Maglath to wield it.
Jeb, Lyre, and Maglath have proficiency with longswords, which I think means it makes more sense one of them wields it. But both Jeb and Lyre are more finesse based and Maglath is strength based. So might get the most bang for the buck with him as longswords are really strength based.
But I’m perfectly happy to just let everyone roll for it too and let chance decide (sword picking its owner type scenario).
And obviously, if they find out something about the sword that makes it a better fit for another character, happy to forget about the argument above for Maglath.

I never understood rogue's getting longswords either. I just chopped it up to a carry over from earlier editions. Especially now that rapier do just as much damage, minus the versatility feature.
Cragmaw Castle: Gundren Rockseeker was captured by goblins on the Triboar Trail under the orders of the “Black Spider.” He and his map to Wave Echo Cave were taken to a goblin stronghold in the Sindaein Wood named Cragmaw Castle, ruled by the chieftain King Grol. Sildar has tasked you with rescuing Gundren and driving the goblins from the castle. Reward: 500 gp.
Finding Iarno: Iarno Albrek is a royal agent and colleague of Sildar Hallwinter. He was assigned to bring order to Phandalin two months ago, but disappeared. Iarno was last seen exploring Tresendar Manor. Sildar has hired you to find him bring him back- or what’s left of him. Reward: 200gp
Reidoth the Druid: Reitoh is a royal agent who's been closely monitoring the goblin crisis, sending back intel regarding their migration paths. Recently he's gone completely silent. Maglath and Lyre are tasked with finding out what happened to him. Reward: to be determined upon completion.
Orcs at Wyvern Tor: Travelers have been accosted by Orcs on the east of the Triboar Trail, near the landmark Wyvern Tor. Harbin Wester has hired you to eliminate the orc menace. You must complete this task in two weeks. Reward: 100 gp, reduced rent(20 -> 10 gp) Edit: Harbin Wester is in prison. Quest is on hold.

I'm back! Thanks for giving me a week to take care of some IRL stuff. I really missed doing this, so I'm glad to be back. Posts may be a little less frequent, but I will try my best to continue the campaign.

Ah, I see! I'll be more careful. Nothics are a really fun creature to roleplay.

Lyre’s just about a foot taller than the average Longsword, and frankly, I have no idea why Rogues are proficient in Longswords anyways.
Maglath taking it makes the most sense to me as well. Murmen can give it the once over to make sure it's not cursed once we take a rest.

Wanted to make sure, you guys are entering through the unlocked door, right?

I thought we were trying the locked door. Could be wrong.

I believe the locked door has been unlocked and was the entry to the armory.
Ah. Right.

My thoughts too. Wasn’t there just the padlocked door to the armory and then the unlocked door with the sound of footsteps on the other side?
Yes, I believe so.
I'm still sry for the sporadic posting... merging two households is a b... especially when there is a burst water pipe in the mix...
No worries here. Life happens.
Sorry guys, but my life has been incredibly busy. I'm going to have to step away for up to a week. I hope to come back as soon as I can.

Thanks for the heads up. Hope things settle down for you.
Yep. Life happens. I completely understand.
No worries.
