Edwina became a barmaid after picking a fight with Elminster.

I think he did a lot more than change her gender. Back in the paper and pencil day, one thing we did at higher levels to high level evil NPCs was shapechange into a wight and level drain them down to first level (and sit on them until the level drain was permanent, couldn't be restored, forget the exact mechanics.  Might have involved a wish, alter reality or miracle to prevent level recovery). For bonus points we left them in societies they created if they were originally in charge.

Far safer than just killing them. Their henchmen could true rez or wish them back from pretty much any fate except the trap-the-soul type options such as imprisonment.
