If an enemy has several equally short routes, who chooses the path?

Question

Accepted Answer

The players do. Each step must reduce the distance to the target, and when routes tie for shortest, the party picks, even if one crosses a trench. A route that leaves the enemy short of range is not equally short if another route reaches range.
