Hmm... it seems to me that *he* was moving *them*, he was not giving them to ability to Leap themselves. If you see what I mean. Almost like saying the rest of the warband with the theoretical Vingan can stay up in the trees as long as she holds their hands. Or maybe I'm splitting hairs here?
But the basic "gosh wow look what he can do!" feel implies to me that yes, it's all possible, but most people would be defeated by those multiple target penalties, and possibly the "this is only just applicable" modifiers. So while we *could* have a tree-running warband powered by a single Vingan, it'll be anything but normal. Does that sound about right?
