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.
The water hits the Doppelgänger in the face and begins to drop down onto its shirt, but the Doppelgänger doesn’t seem to wake up.
DM Note: I’d be careful not to get the Doppelgänger’s shirt too wet.. it does still look like a copy of Arxius... Instead maybe try healing it? It is a 0 HP.
Arxius opens one of her ration packs and offers the contents to the freed kobolds. "Meepo, let them know there are meats in the pantry back there but it may not be to their liking. Do they know their way back to your people?"
Rees just keeps backing up, not out of the room but away from the doppelgänger and crosses her arms. "Short of slapping him as hard as I can across the face -- which I'm willing to do -- I've got no other ideas to wake him up."

The kobolds nearly snatch the food out of your hand and scarf it down in an instant. Meepo relays the information to the kobolds. They nod to you in thanks and all but run out of the room towards the pantry.
“They hungry. Take foods from goblins and go home now. Grateful for freeing.”
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
“I can lend some assistance,” Corkie says as she approaches the Doppelgänger. She lays a hand on the creature, “By the light of cure this creatures wounds”.
Arxius nods and moves back to the cage as the Doppelganger wakes, glancing around the room for Rees as she does.
[Do I need perception for Rees' reaction?]
"What the shit is correct, you wretched creature - what are you? And who are you?" Arxius growls angrily. Irritated by the vision of herself before her and still pretty peeved at being called a thief.
Trick walks over and kneels next to the creature. In a soft and friendly tone he says. “You awake? You are in a bit of a hard spot creature. Left with no good options as far as I can see. From what I heard you are dead if you tell us anything. Unfortunately the large metal man over there is probably going to kill you if you don’t. Let me help you. Tell us what we need to know and I will do everything I can to make sure you leave here alive. Let me help you.”
Rees' has backed to the opposite side of the room, her face is blank - no emotion, no expression, just carefully neutral. Her voice is flat and also expressionless. "Where is Chatra? Or have you always been him?"

You do not speak for me red man. I will do what I please. He spins his sword and puts it up, his eyes turning from red to blue as he begins walking over to Rees to talk to here while the questions are asked to the creature. Alten, if you need me to help like I did with the goblin prisoners, just tell me. He gets over to Rees and puts his arm around her. He says quietly, Do you think we can trust the red guy?
Rees is notably tense, shoulders stiff and she doesn't look at Talien, her eyes glued to the Doppelgänger. "Tieflings get a bad rap, but I've known a few in the city - they were mostly good folks. He hasn't given us a reason not to trust him yet. Doesn't help that his name is Trick, but it's just a name. Remember what I said about not flying off the handle? Still applies. I'd focus on the creature we know is against us for now."
With Rees being notably tense, Talien will pull her in a bit and say. Let's check on Grom, I can always come back if my assistance is needed here. quietly he will add, Something is wrong, you are more soft normally (referring to the tension you have). He will try to walk her out of the room.
Ok, Chatra. I'm going to just keep calling you that unless you give me another name. What's your mission here and who is going to kill you if you "go back" I think you said.

She's not going to go with him and will basically dig her heels in and try to shrug off his arm when he tries to lead her out. "I'm fine. You go. Checking on Grom is a good idea but I want to stay and hear what he has to say. I have questions for him."
Arxius nods and moves back to the cage as the Doppelganger wakes, glancing around the room for Rees as she does.

"What the shit is correct, you wretched creature - what are you? And who are you?" Arxius growls angrily. Irritated by the vision of herself before her and still pretty peeved at being called a thief.
The Doppelganger responds groggily to Arxius, "I have many names... many persona's."
It spits some blood on the ground and its resolve seems to harder as it becomes more aware of its surroundings, "You can call me Chatra if you like.. or Grom.. or Arxius.. if you prefer," it snickers.
Edit: DM Note: No, you're close to her and actively looking for her to see if she is okay. You'd notice she is uncomfortable, or out of norms with your passive perception.

The doppelganger laughs, "I've spent most of my life in a "hard spot"... Kill me... don't kill me... it matters not... I am dead, or worse anyway."
Rees' has backed to the opposite side of the room, her face is blank - no emotion, no expression, just carefully neutral. Her voice is flat and also expressionless. "Where is Chatra? Or have you always been him?"
Turning his head to look at Rees, "Bosely? Or Chatra as you know him? ...Now he was an interesting one. Got two persona's for the price of one with him. Turns out he was on the run from a local lord down in Waterdeep -- scammed him right out of his own signet ring, then tried to sell it to an honest jeweler. Turns out the jeweler didn't want hot items and reported the fool to the guard. Bosely went on the run and took the name Chatra. Ran into him somewhere around Daggerford... he tried to swindle me at a card game in some back alley tavern... that was the end of him."
Ok, Chatra. I'm going to just keep calling you that unless you give me another name. What's your mission here and who is going to kill you if you "go back" I think you said.
The doppelganger turns to address you. Looking you in the eye he spits more blood onto the stone floor and says, "Call me what you will... But, that's really none of your business Alten."

Edit: Trick also healed the Doppelganger, fixed health in spoiler.
