Of course, as an Arcane Trickster I might have been able to get out with an escape artist check, and I did have feather fall prepared. But I chose to attempt to cast Dimension Door instead (not knowing that this dragon wich totally caught me by surprise had the MageSlayer feat). So an automatic AoO which autohit the pooor grappled mage, doing enough damage to make it completely impossible to pass the concentration check in the first place.The good news is the dragon did indeed drop me when I went below 0.The other good news is that the dragon didn't kill me, the fall did.I can agree with the interpretation that he would be able to claw-claw bite me in that grapple if he wanted... But it does seem like a bit of an overkill. At least now I'm high enough level to cast contingency, if not high enough to make DD the contingent spell. I think either blink or gaseous form should be a good escape spell until then though...So as soon as I earn enough money to buy the spell and the focus (the resurrections left the party broke, me in paricular), I should be safe from another surprise dragon attack... at least if I'm not killed by the first chomp.</blockquote>
