I think I kind of understand the grappling rules, but the Pounce / Improved Grab / Rake abilities of certain MM creatures like the Dire Lion really have me stumped. I just don't get the sequence of events, or what the creature can do on subsequent rounds, or whether it needs to make attack rolls to deal damage, etc etc.
Could somebody step me through it? Imagine I'm standing 10ft away from a Dire Lion. It's the Lion's initiative and it Pounces... what next?
