Recently my DM put my party and me against two Phase Spiders. The party consists of a Cleric, a Barbarian, a Sorcerer, and a Magus, all level 7. The Dm played the phase spiders so that they just continued to attack us and get the free grapple. Then on the next round if we were grappled they got the free attack. He is attributing this to the rules on grab for creatures. "If the creature does not constrict, each successful grapple check it makes during successive rounds automatically deals the damage indicated for the attack that established the hold." It seems strange to me that the spider can continue to grapple us and we have no way to escape since their CMD is so high, and we roll abysmally. It is literally impossible for our sorcerer to escape the grapple because his CMB is too low. Are we interpreting this correctly and just have to hope we roll better or is this incorrect?
