Dude, I'd say the dragons are pretty clever.

Thats cause they start to flee when their HP hits rock bottom (after I chop them up with a good ol daedric sword). I chase dragon, dem dragon flies over mountain=no soul and one sad dovahkiin. I had this prob like in 1 out of 3 fights, so at least 1 in 3 dragons are clever.

Also, Odahviing is ridiculously powerful, you can't even hurt him (tried killing him before, he's a real nice guy cause he does not fight back). I hit him with a 500 dmg sword before and he has like "meh, that did nothing" His dragon breath is pretty painful as well. My breton dragonborn with 80% magic resist accidentally got caught in that dem fire thrice and his avoid death triggered (although I only have 250 health. Still, thats an impressive 1250 magic dmg in three flame gouts. Owww). During those stupid civil war questlines, everytime Odahviing goes yol toor shul, at least 5 enemies die. So, he came for the dragonborn cause he knew the dovahkiin was easy meat, but he did not know there was a trap (No, dragons do not have precognition...). Go 1 on 1 Odahviing and you will fail badly, so do not try.

Vulthuryol is either damn intelligent, if he planned to hide in Blackreach, or damn stupid, cause he got owned by dwemer. Take your pick.

Overall, as statistics have shown, at least for my game, 1 in 3 dragons are clever. So, there is a 33% chance that vulthuryol planned his escape to blackreach and 66% chance that he is plain stupid. There is also a 1% chance that he got lost.

Yes, not all dragons are clever, but those that are are a complete waste of time to fight.
