The battlements have an invisibility purge and you're pretty sure the doggeden can detect you if you get anywhere near it so you have to pick your poison.

Avoid the Doggeden, away from the battlements, over to the rolling 9-agon, invisible as soon as I am out of range of the invisibility purge range.

Make a reflex and a will save. The will save is fear based.

Reflex:
Parker : rolling 1d20+18
(8)+18 = 26

Will:
rolling 1d20+12-2
(9)+12-2 = 19

You easily evade a fireball but when you approach within 150 feet of the construct you stop dead in your tracks, unwilling to face the terrifying presence contained within the Heart.

Can I see Rubius flailing away at the Minister?  If so, I call out to him to try and remove the  crown instead.

You see Drayton's body move when struck but Rubius is invisible. You figure out pretty quickly he is there.

If Rubius hears Parker, he'll cease the subdual attack and attempt to remove the crown.

Rubius looks to see how the crown is connected both to Drayton's head and back to the Juggernaut.  I try to find a mutual connection like an umbilical cord (if there is one) and cut it with the holy sword.

The heart is slightly larger than a human head and rests at the pinnacle of the construct as you would find a gemstone set in a statue.

Drayton does have the headband but it appears to have been fused to some sort of crystal helm, which in turn is locked with a collar.
Drayton is chained around his neck, waist, ankles and wrists.  The chains are all anchored into the construct itself, not a plate or ring. The chains that lead to his wrists you can hack through in a few minutes. The others are very thick and it will take considerable time if at all to break them. All are welded closed, not locked.

Other than the chains nothing links him or the headgear to the construct.

I examine the crystal helm locked with the collar.  Rubius will try his luck at trying to disable or unlock it.  What should I roll: Open Lock, Disable Device, Use Magical Device?

You can roll a reflex save with your trap sense bonus. You can then roll a Disable Device check.

You cannot get out the gate. You will have to fly, jump or scale down. You don't see any fiends in your field of view but the juggernaut blocks line of sight to a large mass of troops at this point.
How high are the castle walls?

And what's on the ground in between me and the Juggernaut?

Reflex = 33

DD = 27 + 5 (Better Lucky Than Skilled) = 32

The walkway on top of the walls are right at 60', with battlements another 10'. There is nothing on the ground immediately beneath you but there is a zombie horde immediately surrounding the juggernaut on the front and both sides. The barbarians are behind.

You easily evade a fiery ray but you cannot disable the mechanism that locks the helm in place. You think you will need a dispel magic to have any chance.
