Quantos looks at the runes, trying to determine their purpose.

Quantos steels himself against the unknown, readying his sword and shield.
Having no way to help with the poison or the door, Quantos remains vigilant and leaves the experts to do what they do best.
"That would be wise, lest the trap reset and get us again. I am not sure how it is set up." he looks to Cil when saying this, assuming that she has more knowledge of the trap since she has laid eyes upon it.
vs DC 15 vs DC 18 "These goblins died from small slashes, like from the types of weapons goblins have. Wouldn't surprise me if they fell prey to the confusion trap, and we just walked in towards the end of the aftermath. OR, it might reset and we got hit afterwards."
wasnt positive if it was my turn or not, the post wasn't exactly clear. apologies if it was not my turn, i just dont want to be the one holding things up
vs DC 12 Quantos will take the fill defense action, raising his shield in one hand and holding his sword out in a defensive angle.

Quantos also remains in place, waiting for the trapsmith to work her magic.
Am i missing something? I had absolutely no idea we were waiting on me, and i have been keeping up with the posts. Your post said Round 2, quantos misses his attack. Then said round 2, and you posted initiative. My last post was that i was waiting for the others to come along. I suppose i should have been more concise (re-reading my last post, i admit it wasn't very clear). i thought everyone else would be posting again before it got back to me.
Quantos swings again at the little creature.
Quantos rounds the next corner, and slashes at the next creature he sees... another cursed goblin.
Part of him felt bad to attack these creatures without giving them a chance to surrender... but their kind is known for taking such a chance to put a knife between your ribs.
oh, i horrendously misunderstood. i thought i already took my action but that was before round 1. sorry about that.
Quantos rounds the corner, and on seeing the creature, swings his sword in a horizontal arc even with his foe's over-sized head.
EDIT: crit confirm
Shield and blade at the ready, Quantos steps forward. "Be on guard, goblins ahead babbling. They might have fallen victim to the confusion spell. If so, they may sort themselves out. Anyone understand what they're saying?"
"This spell trap has some pretty bad effects. We definitely do not want anyone having a chance of being in the area. Shielding your eyes means nothing, the colors are primarily secondary." With that, Quantos moves away from the trap, as surely as he can be outside the area of the spell when the trap goes off.
Are you confused? Do I need to clarify something or give you a linear path to follow? was that to all of us? Quantos is waiting, as the plan was for folks to trip the traps from a distance. i probably didnt make it clear, but from the fact that not all of us can take the available cover, Quantos will remain outside of cover and try to just use his shield to shield his eyes and close them against the color spray.
Quantos lifts a shield to guard himself and tightens his grip on his sword.
Quantos breathes easier now, and looks behind to ensure they are not followed before turning forward to look at the door blocking them from the path ahead.
vs DC 10 "We are guided by the righteous blade of Dol Arrah. Needless bloodshed is frowned upon."
Quantos looks to his employers to see what their response is, as he is unaware of any such deal.
"Yes, enough have died today. We are passing through, but are not affiliated with either side. What lies in the room beyond? Do you know?"
Quantos pays attention to Tanira, to see if any magical consultation is needed; he also pays attention to Cil, to avoid setting off any traps he favors stepping in places she has already been.
Quantos tries to bring his small shield up to protect his torso, and ducks his head behind it too as the blast goes off.
Quantos looks through the mass of weapons as one blacksmith would the wares of another's smithy. It's been a long time since I've held the hammer, he thought. Quantos grabs the masterwork items that he comes across, placing them in his handy haversack after ensuring the sharp ones are in scabbards. He will also grab a small steel shield, and stuff the quarrels of 50 bolts in a side pouch as well.
"Hopefully our cause will prevail. An even darker battlefield awaits, I am sure."

Seeing an undead rise next to him and wanting to clear the path. Imbuing his sword with Diving Wrath, he strikes out at the abomination with an upward stab.
Does Quantos think this stench is due to some magical spell? Or maybe deliberate but mundane set-up? or just a result of bodies, dead from war, mixed with jungle heat?
If nothing has transpired, Quantos will once again move forward slowly, crouching behind the next half-barrier.
Quantos slowly moves up next to Tanira, crouching down behind the half-wall.
Quantos tightens his grip on his blade as well.
Quantos will scoop the coins into the bag as instructed, then look around at the water/cube/orbs with Detect Magic.
Quantos likewise obscures his sources of light, wondering what the outcome of such an exercise would be.
Quantos notices nothing out of the ordinary about Saronis, not that it was even his place to, as hired help.
"Hmm, an astrology sign, although i don't remember which one. Shows best when moons are in the new phase, although I am not sure when that might be. Judging by how old this structure is, it could have been anytime, probably." Quantos says, pointing at the constellation with his sword.
Its all good. Hopefully some soup helps...
