Aletn, can we trust this Corkie? How do we know this one is the real one? Chatra, if that is who it was supposed that (pointing at the cage) is supposed to be. Also this new guy. Talien pulls his sword back out, and spins it around. Maybe we just kill them all and save ourselves the trouble later. Like Alten said no need to fight multiple wars.
Nothing in Corkie's mannerisms give you any sort of red flags. She seems to be telling you the truth, or at least she believes what she is saying is the truth. As for the mirror... she likely hid it prison style from the goblins (who aren't very bright) cough * cough*.

Corkie throws her hands in the air in defense, "Woah, Woah, Woah.. I am not a Doppelganger.. And this man here isn't either. If either of us could change shape, don't you think we would have changed into a goblin and gotten ourselves out of that cage?"
Arxius will watch it closely. When they secure it she'll take off her pack and slip her new daggers into place on her belt where her missing axe would be. Her hand securely on the other one as she moves to crouch down with Meepo. "Alright, let us try to get these manacles off, shall we?" she says because she did promise. She'll remove her axe and strike at the manacles, making sure to aim at an angle so that if she misses she doesn't hit the kobolds.

Talien will assist (please roll for me time is short for me. Bed time) :(

These last two pairs of manacles seem to be made of really tough stuff. Your axe bounces off the chain. You look down at your axe blade shaking your head and see there's a little nick in the blade where there wasn't before.
Once he's secured and everyone's in place, can Rees make a medicine check or something to try and wake him up?
Sure thing, DC 10 with advantage thanks to your previous Nat 20 nature check.
Medicine: 9
Edit: even with advantage that was terrible LOL Rees is stressed, y'all
Having never see a doppleganger up close you're not really sure how to wake it up, but it is a humanoid and seems to have the same physiological makeup as you... maybe throw some water in its face?

Aggravated with her failed attempt at the manacles Arxius holds the kobold's hands spread apart while Talien attempts to break the chain in the middle with his greatsword.
Hands shaking slightly, still not looking directly at anyone, Rees will pull out her waterskin and splash some water on "Chatra's" face, then back tf up.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Talien, will you assist me with this last one?" Arxius asks. Taking out one of the daggers instead. Concerned about the damage done to her axe. She'll attempt with the blade before allowing him to intervene.

Easy Talien. Just killing everything in site is no solution. You do that and it just turns you into a problem that someone has to deal with.
I'll match force with force and if I have to kill an enemy in combat, then so be it. But we're not at war. Now is not the time for killing but the time for questions and considerations. Knowledge, intelligence is half the battle. But no intelligence is perfect. You get good information and bad information. You have to use your brains. By fighting smart, you increase your odds of victory.

"Talien, will you assist me with this last one?" Arxius asks. Taking out one of the daggers instead. Concerned about the damage done to her axe. She'll attempt with the blade before allowing him to intervene.
Attack: 15 Damage: 5
You jam the blade into the lock and hear something inside break, but the manacles don’t open up
“You probably just crushed the lock... let’s try my way. Hold your hands out!” Talien gestures at the kobold as he lifts his heavy greatsword again, “Hold him still Arxius.”
Attack: 20 Damage: 9.
Edit: The heavy blade passes through the chains like a hot knife through butter and the remaining kobold is freed.

Attack: 19 Damage: 10.
The sword bites three quarters of the way through the chain, but the manacles still hold fast. Talien winds up for another swing.
Attack: 24 Damage: 10.
Edit: The chain breaks with a loud "snap" of the metal and the kobold is freed. Only one still remains in chains.
grom would still be in the other room going thru his pack and making sure all his belongs are there...

Nothing appears to be missing from your pack. The Doppelgänger likely didn’t have enough time to look through it.
