My party finished Demonskar last night and I had several questions / concerns that came up for which I would like opinions.
First - Have any of you given XP for solving the Stary Mirror puzzle? If so, what CR did you rate it? I gave xp as a CR9 encounter.
Second - How did you handle this puzzle? I gave my PC's a 30min block time where I gave them no clues or hints. They actually worked really well together and solved the puzzle in almost exactly 30min. Had they not then I would have given them some hints, or had Nidrama show up and help them, or something like that at which point I would have given them less xp for the puzzle.
