Waiting on info from the bat

The bat enters into a big cavern and you see multiple treasure chests

(Assuming Pox also sees the chests) the deep gnome whispers to the others, "No hostiles in sight, a few chests.  Caution, however, I have heard of some magical creatures that can change their shapes to imitate inanimate objects..."

"Well, that sounds horrifying" said Rayel as disappointment flashes across his face. "Is there any way to tell t b w difference?"

(DM, how far are we from the back of that cavern?)

The cavern is 50 feet by 50 feet

"Anyway, there's only one way to find out." Said before walking towards the chests and stabing them one by one with his sword.

(OOC: if one of them is a mimic, should I make an attack and damage roll?)

Once you stab the first one, both treasure chests come to life. Yall can roll initiative.

(OOC: should I also roll for damage because I "attacked it"?)

Initiative 22

 Go for it

:-) 

Initiative 19

Damage with shortsword: 4

Initiative: 9

(OOC: I don't know if the attack should've been with advantage. I rolled it like it wasn't, but I'll redo it if you want)

Pox initiative 20

Nebb initiative : 14

(DM, can I get a check on chest spacing)

They are on opposite sides of the cavern

 so 40 feet apart

(OOC: there are only 2 mimics? And how many chests were in the room?)

Initiative 20

(Ok, so what is the combat order?)
