The group takes a wider path, steering clear of the three sand dervishes as they continue along their path. After cresting another couple of dunes it becomes apparent that this desert is not going to be particularly pleasant to the group. They continue headed the way they were told by Kazziin for hundreds of steps. The sun stays high in the sky, at its zenith and never seems to come any lower. It seems like the illumination of this desert is constant and nonstop. The only way the group can tell they haven't turned around by accident is due to them checking where their tracks behind them are.
(Can I get a DC 10 Constitution Saving Throw from everyone for where we get to this next bit. This is to ward off the intense heat and burning sun, a failure will be a level of exhaustion.)
The group stops atop a new dune where they can see off ahead of them a flat area of sand and rocky wasteland, with jagged stone erupting out of the sand making some sort of maze of sandy passages. On the other side of this, they can see that there is something glimmering on the horizon; whether a mirage or not, it is hard to tell with the heat, it looks like it could be white stone walls of maybe a town or city.

Rumble's Constitution Save: 6.
"Not sure if I'm just see'n things now, or not. But-..." He squints and cups a hand over his eyes. "No, Yeah, that's... that's gotta be the place. Don't Kazzin maze of stone, though."Rumble says, crosses his arms across his chest. "Makes the place a bit more defensible though. But if there's cut throats there too, Mmm... Bah! We keep goo-inn -- yer alright there, Mister Killian? Look'n a little worn out there."
Killian leans a little harder on his staff, visibly struggling to walk a little but still upright. "I'll be fine Rumble lets just get to that settlement and hope we don't get ambushed."

Rumble gives Killian a lengthy look, and then turns to the others. Only after accessing everyone else condition, he nods solemnly to Killian. "If you say so. Not that I ain't pretty beat still meself, but if ya start feel'n faint big guy, let us know. Ain't like we're bein' chased by anything at the moment, so we can take it at least a little easy. Just a smidgen."He pantomimes pinching a space in the air, and then starts leading the way into the maze.
"Let's keep to shadows whenever we can though... oh, and Mister Dark? Try not to get too far ahead if'n ya decide to fly ahead, yeah? 'cause If somethin' goes wrong, we probably won't be able to get to ya quickly quite as we would out in open here." He says.

Maybe we should setup a short rest station with our supplies. I am sure we could all benefit from a little shade and water. Do we have enough fabric to make a quick tent like effect?

(The clothes lowered the DC from 15, so they have been helpful so far. Also, less blisters on the feet is always good.)
If the group is looking for some shelter from the merciless sun, they can go into the first couple of turns in the broken ground ahead of them and use the overhangs to get some shade. There is some spare clothing for everyone now as they have a second set of clothes effectively; with a bit of ingenuity and time they could try and setup a temporary shelter to give extra shade (probably a Survival check, let's say DC 13. You can have a couple of people working together to do so, but won't start their rest until it's complete, and one can help the other.)
Tired as he was, Rumble set his focus on keeping watch while Dark and Darnell got the shelter set-up. Even if it was a temporary measure, having something to return to in an emergency wasn't too bad an idea. Now and then, the earth genasi will spare the elven children a glance, or sip his water.
(Not sure if necessarily too late Dark, but you should be able to roll again for the advantage since Darnell is Help.)

Mara will move to help them set up the camp, not feeling that tired as she does so. "Once we rest we should remake our marching order so that we know who will be walking where."

And that's all I have to say about that.

Mara looks at the rest of them with a raised brow, unable to see why they all seemed so tired.

Darnell smirks.
"We have our old clothes, if that counts," he tells Dark.
And that's all I have to say about that.
Dark takes a look at the spare clothes to figure out how to create a simple shelter from the sky. Survival 9

Darnell grins as Dark takes him up on his joking offer, and begins to help him out.
