The only reason not to use {pe-} when commanding multiple people would be if the command takes a non-reflexive direct object. I don’t think we have any evidence to support a noun marked with {-vo'} acting as a direct object. So it should probably be {Daqvamvo' peghoS}.

I think the more interesting question is, which is correct if you’re telling them to go *to* this place rather than away from it. I’m leaning towards {yI-} for that case, but I’m not sure.
