Kif has moved next to one of the ghouls, but it does not attack. It gazes with hatred and fear at Puddin, and seems aware of its surroundings. It is not (yet) aggressive.
Føpé will walk up to one of the ghouls casually, as though he doesn't have a care in the world, whisper under his breath to his fellows, get ready, (Performance: 10) and then attack! Attack: 23 Damage: 14
looking about the room for cool stuff, like murder hobos dom especially close look, without touching, at the misty mountain orb and the statues, also any sign of of unlife from the skeletons or the statue?
There's definitely something going on with the crystal orb. The statue doesn't appear to be anything special, and the rest of the stuff around the room is grotesque, but otherwise is as I described it.
Kif and the rest of the party watch as Barnaby approaches the mysterious orb.
The gnome mumbles ideas about what it might or might not be as he peers at it closely, holding the candle to it to aid his dark vision. The mists swirl inside.
Finally, Barnaby reaches out a hand to tug on the mysterious object. Kif steps forward to help but stops in his tracks when he sees Barnaby whimper and go rigid, as if electrified.
Time stops for Barnaby. His vision is filled with the swirling gray mist; he can see nothing else.
The mists part and he sees a roving red eye. Not looking at him, at the moment. Just as the eye turns to him, Barnaby snaps loose from the trance and falls away from the orb.
That bauble is trouble. It may be some sort of scrying device. When I touched it I momentarily saw an eye looking about. Certainly nobody should touch it again. Puddin, would you check on Ireena, she seems to be having trouble.
Is there any other check I can do to try and identify the orb? I'm assuming not if my 16 arcana check didn't really reveal anything.
Puddin kneels next to Ireena and gently slaps her a few times. Ireena wakes up and stands, groggy. She looks pale, but she looks around grimly, ready to go.

Mists.
The orb does not move in the statue’s grip. The ghouls glower at Fope balefully.

Barnaby will loose a firebolt on the same one.
Attack: 15 Damage: 3
It's taken the Dodge action, unknown to you both. Please roll once more, each, because you had disadvantage.
OK, Kif is going to step forward and do the feint bonus action against the one to the south
So that gives me advantage, which I assume is negated if this guy is also dodging (like a little *****)
21
second roll if I do get advantage 18
If I manage to hit 8 + 1 damage is inflicted
Kif slashes the further one to bits. Eventually.
I'll hand wave the rest of this combat. You essentially have 7 rounds to kill both ghouls, and you do so with several rounds to spare.
What's next?

4 percepting
Barnaby also percepting: 14
And an arcana check on the bauble: 16

Barnaby will attempt to remove the orb for further study.
Athletics check? 7
Edit: Kif, can you give me a hand with this?
assisting 17 that's also athletics

Barnaby, make a Wisdom save, please.
Wisdom Save: 18

Ireena faints.

Well, you’ve added quite a bit of new information, from which your experience with the arcane might be helpful in developing ideas.
You do, in fact, believe that this is some kind of scrying device. Make a Perception check. Only you.
Yes, yes, definitely scrying.
Perception: 15
Ok.
