Catching up. Apologies for the delay.
@DM: Just to point out two of the effects of Guard of the Tower. Hopefully, at least one attack if a foe entered Findegil's reach. Also, how close is Thorgrim to Findegil?

As long as you are fighting with a martial melee weapon that is not light, you add 5 feet to your reach.
Shield-fence
As long as there is at least one ally fighting by your side, you may increase the AC bonus from your shield by +1.

Findegil stares at the tower, recall flaring in his eyes.
"'The Stone Trees of the Angle' these towers were called in their time and I believe this to be the South Tower. It lasted nearly as long as Rhudaur when the Witch King came conquering."
He gestures with his arms.
"It stands on a tall hill with sweeping views of two rivers. There is even a wood nearby for additional provision and material. It would have taken a hard siege to take."
"There is a story, that the South Tower was never taken in siege, but was instead felled by a thing of Shadow, summoned by the Witch King. As the story goes, not one defender of that proud tower lived to tell of it. Should this be indeed the South Tower, and if there is even a grain of truth to that old tale, we must gird ourselves to face such a thing and prevail. For we must do no less."

Findegil presses on.
Swift and steady brings down the beast.

Findegil eases into his pace, willing to run for hours yet.
However, the test will be on the body, not the will.

Findegil realises that he does not have the speed to win a sprint - or the night sight to win an archery contest.
However, he will make this a test of endurance - and win that instead.

@GM: Is that a Con test or a Con save, to confirm?

Findegil sprints in the direction that the sharp-eyed halfling had indicated though not nearly as swiftly.
Move and dash for a total of 50' in the direction that Hobwise ran.

@Tareth: How far is Findegil from the creature now?

Findegil's steady southward advance turns into an eastward sprint.
"Flank the creature! We will crush it together!"

I approve of that call.
I'm catching up now.

I've realised that I hadn't answered.
I quite approve of the GM's logic behind pairing up.
I'll be travelling this weekend and I won't be posting again until Monday at least.

Findegil peers into the night, expecting the night to peer back.
Then, he sniffs.
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Quietly, and without moving, he speaks:
"Giles. Do you smell that? Like a weeks-old corpse on a battlefield. I think our quarry draws near."
As he speaks, Findegil's grip on his blade and shield tighten, ever so slightly, as he peers again into the night, trying to ascertain movement.

"I would risk myself before the possessions of these villagers. I concur on not using animals as bait. I do think we should all sleep soon, and be ready for the night."
When Alswintha makes her request, Findegil nods.
"I would not see man, woman, or child left to the beasts and monsters if I could help it."

"Food and shelter for sleep will be more than enough for us, Waldaccus. We aim to end this threat soon and surely."
*****************
Over food, the knight offers ideas.
"We should determine how many we need to watch all approaches to Bushcilda. However many we have on watch at once, we should spread out those with heavier armour. Alternatively, we could all stay up. But that runs a risk of us all fatigued by morning and the creature does strike during the day as well. I say we man the walls in shifts but all be ready to advance swiftly as needed. We should also find combustibles in case fire is needed to put an end to this creature."

That's understandable. Trying times and all that!
