The group continued heading towards the dust, but the sun was beginning to set at this point. After being slowed down by those desert creatures and that group of humans, their chances of getting there before nightfall were very slim. For now, setting up camp and getting some rest would be their best option. They would have plenty of time to search for the dust tomorrow.

   Robert began to collect wood for the fire, while Dorisma set up the camp. They still needed someone to watch over the camp while the others slept, though. As Deravan said, the smoke from the fire might attract some unwanted attention.
"I'll take the first watch duty." Trey said. After looking around at the group for a few seconds, he randomly selected someone. "Miles, I'll wake you up about halfway through the night so you can take over, unless someone else wants to volunteer."
