This doesn't seem to be linked to the old woman's prophecy, but that's sure a lame statue to Strahd. What were these people up to. I wouldn't try and destroy it, who knows what that might unleash, and we're all looking a bit ragged. Perhaps we can just pack it awayu and see if we can find someone tell us what it is.
Ireena, how are you, what happened, Barnaby locked up and you fainted away for no apparent reason?
Barnaby will take ten minutes to cast detect magic as a ritual on the orb to see what else it might reveal to him. After that, assuming not much additional is learned, then he will take another ten minutes to cast Tenser's Floating Disk as a ritual and...
Kif, I don't think we should touch the orb again until we know more about it. Are you able to lift the entire statue onto the disk here? If so, it will follow us around as we move further, and then perhaps we will be able to figure out more about it.
It is, in fact, a scrying orb. The magic is not as strong as you might have expected, though.
You already know that poking it with a stick appears to provoke no ill effects. With enough care and fussing, you can probably pry it loose from the statue without touching it. If you want to.
Thank you, KIf. Ireena looks out of the side of her eyes at Puddin. Ireena's cheeks are both still pinkish, from the slapping. I'm . . . I'm ok. For a moment I thought he was near, but I don't feel his presence anymore.
Føpé watches, noting the difference between the bulge in a real warier's muscle's, and his own scrawny physique. I like the blood shed, but I'm going to need to start doing push ups or something if I want to be really good it.
I was happy to have a chance to use the floating disk, and I love the strength crit, but now that we know that we can pry the orb off the statue, maybe it makes more sense to pop it into a sack for later inspection rather than towing a statue about.
Føpé reflects on what Barnaby said: the bauble is trouble, an eye looked about.
He removes his blanket from his sleeping roll, sneaks toward the orb, attempting to hide and keep the statue between the orb and himself, (stealth 9) and throws the blanket over the statue and orb together (sleight of hand 23).
So, you losers go a few feet beyond this room, and you get to a heavy wooden door. But for this door, you realize, the ghouls would have kept running from Puddin.
Anyway. Kif walks up to this big door, which immediately opens a giant, toothy mouth, and tries to bite him. It delivers a terrible bite, for 17 points of damage! The teeth almost get a firm grip, and acid eats into Kif's exposed flesh.
Perhaps we should destroy it.

Well Puddin, I’m not sure all that was necessary, but I’m glad to see you got her up. Move on shall we?
what do you think Barnaby, should we grab this sphere or leave it?
Well Kif, let me try another angle on it...

Føpé, waiting 10 minutes for that Barnaby to do his thing, will share the puppy love.
Kif, despite thinking this whole disk thing might be the height of folly, still attempts to move the whole kit and kaboodle to the disk

Kif successfully heaves the whole wooden statue onto the disk. The disk can haul up to 500 pounds, and the statue only weighs about 200.
Well, let's move on then.
And as the group moves forwards, Count Strahd keeps pace 20' behind Barnaby.
Before we move on let's give this room a once over, these guys seemed to like secrets and such down here
6 Perception
Anyone else want to help?

Føpé will then assist Kiff in his search. Investigation:13
And Barnaby...percept: 3
There’s nothing else to see in the room. The bauble and part of the statue are now covered by Fope’s blanket.
I’ll move you forward later this evening.
