I take it niether Rusting Grip or Polymorph/Shapechange was available to the party mage?

I think that may be the problem! The party mage was non-existant.

I had a Paladin, two Rogues, a Fighter and a Cleric all at 18th.

The Juggernaut used it's forcecage attack on the first round to trap 3 of them and then basically used it's breath weapon attacks to decimate them. They couldn't even get to the darn thing to hit it, with all it's breath weapons active every round it just took them apart.

In order to avoid a TPK I had to rule that after the cleric cast Wall of Stone to attempt to shield them from the breath attacks that the juggernaut having no INT score couldn't see them therefore they weren't there and stopped attacking.

Just ran my players through the start of this scenario last week.

I had 5 PCs all 18th level and the Juggernaut just ripped through them.

Is the CR for this - 18 - correct. Judging from the way it played out it felt like it was way overpowing for them.

Cheers
