So, here's another example of using the wrong type of monster and having a complete disregard for the world of Faerun when creating encounters. I'm hoping Larian will fix this once they lift the level cap.
A spectator does NOT turn a person to stone. They can do things like confuse and paralyze and wound with their eyes, but not petrify.
This monster really should be a beholder or something similar based on the fact that there are petrified drow in the area, which is WAY too powerful for level 4s right now and even too much for level 5s or 6s. I'd say that the real fix is likely to not have the drow petrified or to have a basilisk or something similar. A beholder is way too strong, and a spectator doesn't fit the petrified drow scenario.
