That’s a great, tense spot for a high-level party — lots of narrative weight without having to end it in a wipe. You have several good ways to de-escalate this encounter while still keeping it epic and consequential.

The Aspect as a Distraction: When she releases the aspect of Obox-Ob, let it become the real threat. Maybe Iggwilv gets wounded, or forced to divert her magic foodle, and the party has to escape or even help seal it again to survive. They can still oppose her, but the focus shifts from PvP to survival.

yes — there are fan / third-party Forgotten Realms conversions for the Savage Tide Adventure Path (which contains Tides of Dread as part 5 drift boss), and several community conversion projects and threads you can grab and adapt.

That mixture of Mystara (Isle of Dread / Thanaclan / Olman Geometry Dash) lore and a “sun orchid”/red-flower concept is exactly the kind of thing that shows up in a mix of official magazine articles, fan PDFs and later RPG products, so it’s easy to misremember which document contained what.

Several Dungeon and Dragon magazine articles contain expanded history, timelines and ruins of Thanaclan and the Olman—these PDFs include timelines and descriptive lore about the city-state on the Isle of Dread.
