Most likely he can attack while grappled. My biggest concern is can he keep flying while grappling. I will have to read up on the monster description as well as the grapple rules.

It is likely to be Saturday before I will get to this. I am in the middle of a price increase and two auctions and am just swampped.

If he can fly while grappling, well that sounds great. If he can't fly while grappling, well that sounds just fine to me too. I doubt the mage can carry him :)

And who do you think can handle the fall better?

That's right!

I would guess that as long as the size of dragon that Mund will be can carry the weight of the mage while flying, he should also be able to fly while grappling, since grappling will use his arms and legs (and perhaps head) and not his wings. Of course it's Mark's call in the end. Either way though, I'm anticipating this being an interesting aerial battle.

Well the mage himself is flying, so I don't think it's an issue of whether or not Mund can carry the mage, but rather whether he can continue to pump his wings while grappling. Dragons are not particularly good flyers, and IIRC cannot hover even when they aren't grappling. So if he can't, it would be more like does the fly spell allow you to carry the weight of a white dragon?

I definitely think the idea of having the dragon-Mund plummet to the ground on top of the mage is a highly attractive option :) Ragnar will be happy to heal him up afterwards.

Is there anything more annoying than a mage? Yes -- a clever mage.

Not that Mund would mind if the "Lady" were taken down a notch or two, but Mund can't let that mage control the battlefield like that. It sets a bad precedent.

Mund "runs" straight up at the mage and tackles him, latching on with all four legs continuing to beat his wings.
