Thanks for the many answers till now.
To your occurred questions why the dragon wouldn't kill Raistlin: the dragon is no normal dragon. It is Seether, a black dragon assassin with special orders. So the examination wouldn't be done only by her.
And because they captured now such a powerfull mage like Raist who is responsible for so much trouble in the meantime, the dragonarmy of Thakisis will try to receive as much information about the plans of the players as possible. I try to use not only scripted events in such a big campaign. If the players do something that isn't planned, I try to let the other side react in a decent way.
I just want to give the player of Raist the chance to play the beginning of the examination by himself to see what he tells by his own and how he trades for his life. It is not planned till now that he will become free during the next time and it is still an option that the bad guys kill him direct after the interrogation instead of imprisoning him.

Maybe I really use a telephatic link for his answers.

I by myself have tried to speak with a packet of paper tissues in my mouth and thought that it is possible to understand roughly what is said. But it shouldn't be possible to speak clear enough the exact magic formula for casting a spell like it is stated in the rules. How do you see that or how would you define the chance for a spell failure with that?

Hello there, we play for a long while now the classic Dragonlance campaign and now the following has happend.

Our Raistlin has tried to give a bad injured, fleeing dragon the rest and teleported right behind him, casted a lightning bolt and failed the spell resistance. The dragon turned around, grabed him in flight and prevented any further casting.
Now what to do? The action could have gone well, but was nethertheless a suicide operation.
I don't want to kill the character because it is Raistlin but just want to get him for a longer time out of the game. So he will be bound, gaged, and blinded with a black sack in an unknown place to him.
Would you say it is still possible to examine him?
I have diskussed this with another experienced DM, but we haven't found a conclusion.
I say it is possible to gag someone in a way that he couldn't speak clear enough for casting a spell like teleport (that he still has prepared and the dragon knows this because Raistlin used it to get behind him), but clear enough to understand roughly the answered questions.

What do you think?
