You essentially create a base camp of sorts near the mine entrance and keep helping people up, getting them settled before the long trek back to town.
Renting it is fine. Check the immediate area for any Sand Rays that may have burrowed in the sand, also check the sky on the off-chance that one is hunting here right now. Head north of where the caravan was attacked and continue my search there if I don't find anything here.

There are about 12 hours of good sunlight per day to search. Because your senses are crap, instead of rolling once per turn I'm gonna roll 12 times per turn to see if you manage to find the thing any of those hours.
[after 7 hours, sometime around 2pm]
You do not find a ray itself, but you do find what looks like the tracks of one. They're headed south, out towards...well more sand.
"There ate kidnappings occuring in the town slums, targeting isolated healthy individuals, to be recovered days layer with no memory of what occured to them. Examination of them shows signs of mental influence dominating them, and of them being worked to near death before being discarded. The plan is to bait them out with someone that meets their victim profile but that can resist being controlled. The plan is for our Trojan to be picked up and taken to the rest of the captives, so we can make sure to stop the entire operation rather than merely disabling one agent."
"Sounds like I'm going to make a lifestyle of being kidnapped... If there any kind of plan for how you're going to find me, or am I on my own?"
Name: Zavirius En-Drani Haver, Painter
Appearance: A girl of unknown but apparently foreign descent. She claims to be the last surviving member of a long-dead ancient race, kept preserved in some kind of magical stasis, but this is likely untrue. Though her skin is a strange shade not normally seen on the continent, and her hair is bleached white with a slight green reflective tint. She is not very tall but stout like a dwarf and startlingly strong. She's wearing a red gambeson, gray pants, metal bracers, shin guards and a sallet helm.

At this point the mage breakers would add that they have something that amounts to a location tracker that they would be able to use to find you. As long as it doesn't get broken or you are intentionally shielded against being found, it should work.
Ignore the mannequin bot for now and head into the other room.

You leave the box and walk down stairs, only to find a reasonably large square room filled with more, very similar boxes. They're stacked 3 high in some places, all pushed against the walls. There's another of those golem things, albeit this one is partially smashed is is laying sprawled out on the floor near the stairs. There are some odd instruments hung up on the ceiling by long cords, maybe 5 or so feet off the ground.
There's another door here as well, this one heading into a hall with two other doorways.
Yeah, that ain't Ekrov's problem, and it ain't something he can deal with. Just... keep herding people up the tunnel, watching for straggling wounded. Use cha to make people help any, I guess.
Name: Ekrov Trenian Vyachilad
Description: A noble's son, Ekrov is a boy on the cusp of adulthood, and barely looks it. His hands are soft, his appearance taken care of, and his bones slightly visible under his unmarred skin. He's scrawny, clearly having never done manual labor in his life, and somewhat short--though it's hard to tell whether that's due to age or genetics. His eyes are wide and constantly look around in absentminded wonderment; he's clearly out of his element in this, and gives off a tourist-y impression. He wears a clearly high-quality outfit, but to his credit it looks unusually practical for a noble, subdued brown in color and light aside from thin pieces of light leather in strategic locations, clearly intended more as protection than a fashion statement. He carries a small backpack, and wears a light cloak that's had an absurd number of little pockets clumsily sewn into it.

Benedict the Griffon
We'll assume you guys are to safety at the base camp of sorts. Well, assuming nothing stupid happens.
(After finding out that the magebreakers collapsing the cavern are capable of getting out.)
Leave the cavern area. Try to make sure Benedict gets out, but the autocannon can be left there.. it's just a magic machine gun, after all, and three of them are already out. When we're out, or giant buggy notices us, use a Strengthen Expand spell to enlarge the rock behind us to close the passageway. Head up.
Japanese girl with a long black braid and a white and red fitted robe with long gloves. Eyes currently shimmering with energy. Clothing is slightly dull in colour and made of metallic thread. Pointy, somewhat elfish ears. Burnt off eyebrows from spell failure. Missing fingernails on right hand.

You call Benedict back and beat a very hasty retreat with the rest of the people left in the cave, leaving behind anything that isn't absolutely vital.
[7v5][-4 mana]
You make it to the mouth of the cave and attempt a spell, pointing at a large section of stone. The magic drains from you and then goes off with an electrical crack that bowls you over and leaves you dizzy. The rock remains the same size. You're trying to understand what happened when Benedict grabs you by the collar with its beak and starts dragging you away, moving in a semi-frantic crawl. You're a few hundred feet into the mine.
About 30 seconds later there is a great rushing noises and something slams into something. The mine shakes and you heard grinding of stone. A voice calls up through the mine, echoing violently.
