I should be clear that Barnaby sensed, with Detect Magic, a presence consistent with a magic item, and not a trap, in that chest. Though he has not said anything about it, as far as I know.
It was stated that Barnaby was letting the others speak. He does back up behind Fope when given the opportunity. With talk of leaving, he speaks quietly,
It would be really good to have a look in that chest. We just rested, we won’t be in a better position than now to stand firm against this spirit. Louder, My lady, we will just, as my friend Kif here said, have a quick peak at what’s in the chest and then we’ll be quietly on our way.
Addressing the apparition (Deception: 12), Mrs. Durst, Count Strahd himself, reconsidering his interest in your operation, has sent us to recover relics. If he is pleased, he promises you great reward!
Kif strikes a blow deep into the gaunt figure, dealing terrible damage! She shrieks in response.
The chest is not locked. It opens, and there are things inside. Fope see a cloak, a book, and a smaller wooden coffer. There is more, too, and you are welcome to spend your next turn going through it.

Agreed, Barnaby Kif whispers
Kif reaches over, one eye on the spirit, and opens the chest
The DM says, "roll initiative."
Barnaby initiative: 7
No no, I was just kidding. I'm not authorized in any way shape or form to call for an initiative roll on the DM's behalf.
I thought he'd asked you to tell us. I should remember never to listen to anything you say.
o.O
She looks down at Kif and smiles broadly.
See? Helping already.
She attacks. Roll initiative. Really, this time.
Barnaby initiative again: 2
Edit: Heh.
*chuckle*
Initiating initiative response 14
We've got a couple helpings of cold steel for you, lady
You know nothing about us, mortal, if you think I care.
edit: shoot. Phone posting and I thought it would work. Well you get the idea.
Initiative: 17
Kiff, cover me while I open this chest. Irena, pass me the tools!

Blue: Dov, we have no reason to believe the chest is locked at this time, though presumably Kif would know having tried to open it.
True, but best for Føpé to be ready in the event he wants to try and pick it.
She swoops down toward Kif, without bothering to respond to Fope.
Everybody but Barnaby may go.
Føpé will attempt to open the chest. If it is locked, he will signal to Irena to pass them already.
