Pronoun subject question

Is it clear that the first 'he' refers to Caramon and the second 'he' refers to Raistlin/his brother?

Caramon leaned on Raistlin during their escape from the temple dungeons, and he witnessed his brother’s power as he reversed time and brought Tasslehoff back to life after the kender’s fatal encounter with a trapped lock.

cboutin3 Is it clear that the first 'he' refers to Caramon and the second 'he' refers to Raistlin/his brother? Caramon leaned on Raistlin during their escape from the temple dungeons, and he witnessed his brother’s power as he reversed time and brought Tasslehoff back to life after the kender’s fatal encounter with a trapped lock. I've removed the comma after dungeons, the pronoun he before witnessed and substituted as he with the relative pronoun that to avoid ambiguity.
