If the party is in the pit trap the mage who likely is in the back and not charging ahead is now likely dead. One stun and flurry later=ouch. Someone more knowledgeable of grapple maybe can answer this. Monk surprise round moves in for spring attack makes a grapple is it a full attack or not if only make one attempt, and not full bab attempt. If you grapple someone can you move with them. IOW could the monk jump in grab the mage and jump out in the surprise round. It's just a guess but I bet the party would follow the monk if he was dragging the wiz around by the ankles. If it is a full attack so can't be used with spring attack, anytime the monk rolls really well on initiative in the surprise round he might go for it anyways ciunting on getting 2 round sof acitons before the party moves to save him.
