First time I play high lvl sorcerer and I did enjoy it.
[ +- ] Investigation
Combat was good.

One thing I could have liked - when narrating this one - make sure players understand enemy is still not dead, but regaining it's health slowly instead. That would add some tension and intrigue

P.S. @runekyndig could you share what was the idea behind forcefield of energy around the enemy? It felt like owlbear summoned that protection. Did owlbear intentionally left it exposed to anyone who knows how the stars are aligned in the skies? Was it a natural phenomena instead of owlbear's controlled one? A coincidence?
And why did the owlbear decided to make his lair in this plane of existence. He should have know he will be destroyed sooner or later, because that what humans do

@GreyWord Sure. That battle was designed to be in 3 phases. In the first, the players simply contend with the owlbear. In the second, the players must arrange glowing orbs to solve the puzzle that unlocks the owlbear’s radiant cocoon. The third phase starts when the owlbear enters its mythic state and summons a star that empowers it.

I don't have a clear explanation as to why it is so.
