This knight made a few mistakes.  First he signed up to kill a dragon. then he fell for a cardboard cutout of a dragon, then he mocked the cardboard cutout of the dragon, now he's falling down a hole and is about to die. This guy was an overconfident jerk with gusto and bravado before this moment, but now he's about to meet his god thanks to very tiny grabby hands. I'd love this to be comically over the top and emasculated, but do what you like!
