(Well, Rees is a wimp and her strength/athletics modifier is +0 anyway LOL so, the rolls should be good - I am sad to miss that nat20 because of disadvantage, but I'll take the 18)
Rees lunges at the Doppelganger in frustration. It sees her coming over its shoulder in the darkness and steps to the side. Rees grabs onto something thinking its the Doppelganger, but when she hears loud cracking sounds she realizes she grappled a skeleton that was chained to the wall near the door and the noise was its old bones breaking under the pressure of her hug.
The Doppelganger calls out with a chuckle, "Does it annoy you that you are just slightly inferior to me in every way?"

Grom is up... You are on the other side of the closed door with Talien in the Practice Range. If you want to open the door it will take one action, but it's up to you.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
{Early day tomorrow means early night tonight}
If NotChatra is still up when my turn comes around and Alten can reach him for a non-leathal melee attack:
Scimitar pommel to the head and neck: Attack: 18 Damage: 6
If we suceed in knocking him unconscious, he should stay in the small form he is currently in. Assuming that is the case, Alten would want the manacles back on and tightened down for the smaller hands and wrists. He would also want the legs tied together and the whole body wrapped up using the full 50 feet of rope from chest to feet.
If he is unconscious, we can also put him in the cage and Talien and I can attempt to straighten the bars back to a more normal position.
If something happens that makes all of that not viable, feel free to bot Alten. He basically wants NotChatra alive to continue qustioning about the Iron Hand and what they want.

"Gross," she mutters, letting go of the skeleton and brushing herself off. She shoots a glare in the direction of the Doppelganger half hoping he can see even though she can't. "Everything about you annoys me." (LOW BLOW FEN! :) )
Grom will turn around from talking to Talien and be like uh oh the door slammed shut something is up!
He will run over and get against the wall as to not be in the door way and open the door
Light floods into the Goblin Prison from the Practice Range as Grom throws open the door and presses himself against the wall.
Alten is just about to hit the Doppelgänger with the butt of his scimitar when the door flies open and light suddenly shines into his eyes causing him to close them for a split second and miss his foe.
Meepo shouts, “Bright light!” And shields his eyes for a moment.

Talien is up... The door has been opened again, the Doppelgänger stands at the threshold its hurt bad (yet is still running its mouth)...
The light entering the room is suddenly obstructed once again as Talien looms in the doorway. He hurls a dagger with all his strength and watches impassively as it strikes the Doppelgänger in the throat. Arterial spray splashes across Talien’s face as blood wells up in the Doppelgänger’s throat. Gurgling sounds escape it’s mouth as it gasps for breath. The face you know as Chatra grows pale from the lose of blood and lack of air as he attempts to stop the bleeding. After what seems like an eternity the creature stops choking and simply crumples to the ground.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"I don't know, but I would assume it's the organization that this creature worked for," Rees says, blinking against the light from the open door and looking at the body. (Does it still look like Chatra?) "He wasn't going to tell us, Alten, he was too afraid of the group he works for to say anything. There are more we can ask, we just have to make it to the shrine in Oakhurst on the day of the Midsummer festival." She moves forward and starts to check the body for anything interesting.
Investigation? I assume? 9 (If that's not good enough I'd like to use my inspiration)
He pushes out the door, past Talien, and heads for the Goblin Pantry. Once he gets in there, he starts smashing the shit and swearing like a sailor under his breath.

As you approach the body the face and skin start to writhe and lose their features. The face of Chatra fades and becomes shapeless. The creature's eyes are now a pale milky white, its skin becomes a translucent blackish-blue, it now has slits where there was once a nose, and the mouth is missing entirely. The creature has the features of a humanoid, but they are all nondescript and muted now as if they were just lumps of clay waiting to be sculpted.
The creature has a single strange black band tattooed on its forearm a few inches away from the wrist, but do not find any items on the creature.
DM Note: (Chatra's gear is back in the pantry will send a message via OOC thread when I figure out what he had on him).
"Thank you for the kind offer. I was carrying an item of extreme personal value. It is in a hard leather tube with a strap. If I find nothing else, I must find that."

Sorry Alten, it is out of the box. Talien cares not for half answers. :(
Warforged Fighter Talien
The light entering the room is suddenly obstructed once again as Talien looms in the doorway. He hurls a dagger with all his strength and watches impassively as it strikes the Doppelgänger in the throat. Arterial spray splashes across Talien’s face as blood wells up in the Doppelgänger’s throat. Gurgling sounds escape it’s mouth as it gasps for breath. The face you know as Chatra grows pale from the lose of blood and lack of air as he attempts to stop the bleeding. After what seems like an eternity the creature stops choking and simply crumples to the ground.
Alten's body is quivering. He's staring a hole in Talien. With clenched teeth, he asks
What's the Iron Hand, Talien?, Arxius? Anybody?
"Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth." A Camus
I have iron fists. So maybe my palms. Talien replies.

Alten doesn't say a word after Talien's answer.
He pushes out the door, past Talien, and heads for the Goblin Pantry. Once he gets in there, he starts smashing the shit and swearing like a sailor under his breath.

Not looking up, Rees says flatly, "Should probably go check on him, Arx."

If Trick is still rummaging thru the room, Alten will offer
If you can't find your stuff we've also got Chatra's gear. He certainly doesn't need it any more.

Talien will look over his hands. And then check around the room with Trick. Keeping an "as discreet as an robot watching you every move" eye on Trick.
