Assuming nothing has come to life in the bath room, Talion moves cautiously forward, but does not enter the store room. Instead he quickly sifts through the items in the store room from a distance. Earlier he was looking for various items, and he looks once more. As he lifts the dusty items up he keeps a wary eye on his surrounds...
(( Any or all of the following would attract his attention: Wedges, Lantern, Oil, Disguise Kit (eg. makeup), Alcoholic beverages, Ropes, Sacks, Bedrolls, Mess kit, Flint and Tinder, Whetstone, Bell. ))
It's pretty hard to do - manipulating the hand in dim light whilst standing outside the entrance. The larger items are no problem though: you do see a lantern, blankets, and a bell (this is on the table next to the bath), and there looks to be flint and tinder there as well. There are smaller items and vials, though you're not entirely sure what they are. You could have your hand try to grab as many as it can in the minute the spell is active?
He would take one at a time, and re-cast the spell as necessary (( but I think later events interrupted! ))
I must admit that my expectation was that Talion was still outside the room. I had a different image of the room. As far as Talion is converned, Onyx is point man. If he can't reach stuff in the room, he waits.
Edit: I think I understand now -- the map is out of date, and Ervan is in the little room ahead of him..
It would be comical watching this broom hover around, if you were anywhere else, but you get the sense that this "thing" isn't messing around. Added to this, the cramped quarters and cover making it nearly impossible for more than one person to attack this magical construct at one time.
The broom hovers to D2 and attacks Erven twice, the creature it mindlessly knows that caused it to spring to life. It moves menacingly towards him and as if guided by some unseen hand, will smack him a couple times: Attack:21Damage:7 bludgeoning damage. Attack:14Damage:5 bludgeoning damage.
Everyone else is up! Be mindful of cover/shooting through allies, etc...
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Bertolt will awkwardly move to try and get the thing into his line of sight, cursing as the thing is rather difficult to hit with his crossbow. With a sigh at the though of insulting a broom, he raises his voice and yells. "Stop this nonsense at once! You are worthless for cleaning and would be better used as kindling to burn rubbish!"
Viscious Mockery so it will need to make a dc 14 wisdom save or take 4 Psychic damage.
Erven, feeling better after the healing, takes his lit torch and tries to light the broomstick on fire, by punching it with the torch and pushing the lit end toward the broom. "Begone, you blasted bludgeoning broom!"
(Tell me if I'm not doing this correctly, just lit a torch, going to use as a weapon and try to set this thing on fire).
Attack : 16
Damage : 3, plus 1 fire damage if hits.

At first, Sho thought that his elf companion was frolicking around with the broom, that he is almost impressed with the elf's energy, but he soon realized that the broom is flying around on its own. "This is getting more and more ridiculous..." He sighed under his breath, while the others throwing insults at this flying broom, a blob of warm glow concentrating on his hand.
"Get out of there," Sho raised his voice, "and close the door."

"I have your back," Onyx calls to Talion as the warlock advances in reverse. Accordingly, Onyx steps up towards the closet where the brushy menace has Erven cornered. He brings his sword to bear against the animated broom.
Attack: 19 Damage: 12

Another medical problem. Indefinite hiatus. Sorry, all.
Talion turns around to face the door as Onyx advances. He watches the warrior 's back as he moves forward. I've got your back. How long is it since I've heard those words...and believed them? He smiles more confidently, and winks at Sho, waiting for an opening.

@Bert - you can juuust see the broom. Wis save - 7 @Erven - Roll a dexterity (sleight of hand) to see if you got the torch lit (DC 15). Success = 1 point of Fire damage. Otherwise it’s bludgeoning 1 damage. Because of the nature of the torch, there’s a 50% chance it goes out if you try to use it to attack. If you attack with it as above, I’ll roll d100. 51+ it stays lit and anything lower it extinguishes 54
As Talion moves out of the way, the broom turns towards him. @Sho - I’ll say that as Talion moves out of the way, you are able to slip in before Onyx moves up and cast your spell. SF needs sight to cast still but target doesn’t gain any help from cover Dex save - 17
As you make way for Onyx, the broom will make its attack of opportunity against Sho, it’s bristles swiping at your ass as you retreat - Attack: 16Damage: 5
@Onyx - a massive hit that severs the broom in two - though it still hovers on....
[well see what happens with all these rolls and I’ll post a short update]
End of round update: @Bertolt - you're pretty sure your insult hit the mark - what a zinger! - but it seems to have no effect on the broom! (it's immune) @Erven - you're able to quickly light the torch and the brittle sticks roar to life. As you see the broom stand up out of the corner of your eye, you instinctively jab the torch at it, scoring a hit! Broom takes 1 point of fire damage but is extinguished! @Sho - the broom takes the full effect of your attack!
Broom's turn!
Having taken the massive hit from Onyx, the broom turns to attack the paladin twice! Attack:15Damage:4 Attack:18Damage:4

(( @DM :Can Talion help Onyx? Pretend to throw a dagger, or similar? Nvm: answered my own question: to help in melee, he needs to be within 5 feet of target ))
Talion's hand is surrounded with the now familiar people glow of arcane energy s he seeks an opening to attack.
Attack: 23 Damage: 4
(( If he can't move to see the broom, it will have to be a held action))
Bertolt glares at broom as he holds his tongue and readies his crossbow. "Draw it out so that we can destroy the blasted thing!" He will hold back and wait for a clean shot at the broom if one is given.

Erven drops the extinguished torch and moves to attack the animated broom, using a short sword to attack. He is in flanking position behind the broom with Onyx in the door.
Attack: 22 Damage: 8

He pokes his head looking inside the store room, the frantic broom dancing around and sweeping all the dust all over the place onto Onyx and Erven. He covers his nose so not to inhale any of the dust and demands. "Shoo, shoo. Bad broom. Stay."
Bertolt Inititiative: 8

Feeling a little less confident after his last fight, Talion disengages, and moves back, giving Onyx a chance to attack.
"I have your back," Onyx calls to Talion as the warlock advances in reverse. Accordingly, Onyx steps up towards the closet where the brushy menace has Erven cornered. He brings his sword to bear against the animated broom.

((Bah, kinda missing the shield now. I knew the greatsword was a trap!))
Onyx takes the blow to the ribs and grunts in surprise and a bit of pain. He quickly steels himself, conscious of his role in the group.
"I'll make kindling of you yet," he quips as he attempts to finish off their foe.
