You discover that the tracks do indeed stop just before the mostly buried door. There's a bit of space in various cracks that lead outside. Based on the information Flyndal gathers, you've got a trio of options:
1. Go outside and work your way to the other side of this door, Flyndal is confident in his skill to find it.
2. Dig your way through here.
3. or.... Flyndal sees that the floor is actually quite damaged, and determines that there is some sort of secret passage below. With well applied force, you might be able to bust in.
Which option Pathfinders? They're getting away! Also who took what treasure?

If nobody else volunteers, and assuming our casters detect no foul business afoot, Flyn will stow the magic dust and inscripted sheet. That dagger isn't worth the trouble it could bring.
“Narad, can you find any way to open this hidden passage?”

Flyndal gives hit a really solid crack, but it doesn't give. You guys think you could do it the hard way. It'll likely be faster than the other two choices, assuming it leads to where you want to go.
Unfortunately, there aren't any moving parts to disable. It'll take smashing with weapons. (No need to roll actually, you can just get to it. The questions is, is this the path you want to try?)

I don't know that I'm going to beat that 21 without using up some Rage, etc. We should probably take a different option.
So there are two ways of busting through, the single big hit, or chip away doing damage. I won't make you roll the damage, just tell me if you want to go outside, dig your way through, or chip through to the secret passage.

"Desh, I know you're tired. But, at least we're in this tunnel. It's probably hotter and more uncomfortable if we go back outside and go around. Let's just smash through."
The GM posted: "Enigmatic hieroglyphs cover just about every surface of this chamber excavated into the mountain." We're already in a mountain and underground. I can't imaging that the environment would get any better by going outside, and possibly up a mountain.

Something to do with angles...there is a theory...but I should stop there."

Will update the digging tonight. Meanwhile you've found a +2 mythic bane dagger. The dust is dust of disjunction. The Aklo is some kind of ritual that would allow a character to regain 1d2+1 uses of mythic power. The catch is that such a ritual will likely attract the attention of something from the Great Beyond.
Yes it means it does extra damage against creatures with Mythic levels, as opposed to a "greater bane" against a normal type of creature.
Setting your backs to it, you smash your way down into the tunnels below.
Arcana or Dungeoneering DC 20:
These tunnels were made by powerful acid, likely by creatures known as Deathworms.
The tunnels crisscross chaotically. This is still likely a shortcut through the wall, but only if you don't get lost. I need a survival check or Dungeoneering check DC 20. Pass and your check and you'll be back on track faster than expected.

Garrett pauses when they finally enter the tunnels. "We should be very cautious. These tunnels are not nature. They were formed by a very powerful acid, possibly from a death worm."
Yes, you're fatigued until you can get over the heat somehow. An Endure Elements will do it. Your time underground helped a little, but you're still fatigued.
Flyndal leads you confidently through the tunnels, and you're pretty sure there's no way your prey would have expected this level of progress. Eventually Flyndal leads you back out into the desert. Two tall sandstone outcroppings rise to the north and south, channeling whistling wind and stinging sand through this pass. The carcass of a giant serpentine beast covered in dried blisters lies in a heap at the gorge’s narrowest point, the body savaged by some powerful predator.
The wind is really strong in the gorge. Everyone make a Perception check at -4 (you can also make a heal check if you're checking out the corpse.)
I'm back! The perception check doubles as you guys checking back in. :-)

It appears this death worm was killed by way of poison. Before you can get much more information, you catch movement in the cliffs above you. It's hard to see, but you can make out a large scaly form, hiding.

“Poisoned. By what, I can’t...” Flyn suddenly cuts off, glancing up at the cliffs above. Lowering his voice for his friends alone, he nods up toward a large scaly shape among the rocks.“We’re not alone!”

Any knowledge skills available to identify? Ninja'd! I'll edit my post accordingly.
Garrett looks up suddenly at the yelling to see the giant blue monster. "Huh..."
Knowledge: Arcana:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
Garrett recognizes the creature... "It's a behir! Do not let it close distance with us. They are very deadly in melee combat and can also breath lightning!" He says to his companions.
He then shouts loudly over the wind, hoping to be heard by the massive creature. "Mighty behir! We have never encroached upon your territory and are simply passing through. We are tracking two men that may have passed this way! If you will allow us leave peacefully, we will depart immediately!"
