The Statuettes of Barovia?

Along their journey, heroes may discover statuettes/figurines. These have some magical effect tied to them.

It's something I haven't really given thought to, but recently one of my players (a Mastermind Rogue, go figure!) has started to believe there's some larger significance to collecting them all. And to be honest - I find this a really intriguing concept!

Does anyone have any cool ideas for what kind of event/boon/(curse?) would occur should the party gather all the figurines? They're nearing the end game and I figure they could use as much help as possible going into their final fight.

Some statuettes off the top of my head:

  • Castle Ravenloft (Area K15, Chapel): Icon of Ravenloft
  • Krezk Abbey (Area S15b. Madhouse, Quarreling Mongrelfolk): Wooden statue of Saint Markovia
  • Amber Temple (Area X24, West Shrine): Obsidian Statue of the Faceless God

Some debatable ones:

  • Death House (Area 31, Darklord's Shrine): painted wooden statue of Strahd himself. "Wide alcove" probably indicates a larger size, but perhaps it's just a centerpiece?
  • Ireena's Blinsky doll lol why not

Any others you can think of? Keen to hear what you think!
