Abrogail might refuse an immediate resurrection, making it unsafe to kill her as part of an intended kidnapping plan.  She can still have the child aborted via Baleful Polymorph to male.

Kidnap Abrogail, via:

- Route 1, luring Abrogail outside the Palace Forbiddance not under a Mind Blank, via fake intelligence leak suggesting an assassination attempt, which Abrogail may be willing to play along with that in hopes of luring Keltham into complacency;

- Route 2.1, hitting that Forbiddance with a Dispel from somebody as powerful as Rugatonn, or 2.2 successfully obtaining a scroll of Mage's Disjunction;

Then, have multiple noble Efreeti in rapid succession cast Wishes to try to kidnap her until she fails a Will save.

This may plausibly not work even then, based on Keltham's research into levels of magical resistance apparently granted by the Crown of Infernal Majesty in the light of purchased reports on past assassination attempts against Crown-wearers.

Ideally, Cheliax should be allowed to think Abrogail permadead and out of the game for good, as by statuing her or soul-trapping her, and having Carissa attempt to claim the throne herself.  This forces them to deal with the succession crisis rather than Rugatonn just appointing a regent.  If the successor appears to be getting organized enough for an invasion, this would be a fine time to send Abrogail back, possibly with visible gaps in her own memory just to complicate things.
