Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kaisoku" data-source="post: 5195879" data-attributes="member: 58447">Madness is a special case for Trilliths, being that she is pretending to be a gnome most of the time while being incorporeal (it's a unique ability to her, not all trilliths).So, you are right. Singing the song of forms would make her spontaneously reveal her true form by using debris or other inanimate objects laying around (such as the tent or a tapestry, etc).This would reveal her, and make her take real damage. In the text you quoted, it's taking place in a battlefield with a lot of powerful magic being flung around, and an explosion having just gone off.Madness runs in fear because she does not control the situation and would likely not feel safe being corporeal in such a dangerous environment.It'd be like someone pulling your pants down in the middle of recess... and revealing you are actually an eel and not a human.At the time it's mentioned, it's most of the way through the adventure, and the King is fully in the grip of insanity and would likely trust any story his advisor tells him when she returns normal looking.Plus, she's still a CR 11 encounter that could likely mop the floor with 7th level players. Even corporeal, she has a 20% miss chance. Plus, escape should be easy in the first meeting (Mislead spell, and between people running and screaming and 8 attacks all with confusion poison, she should easily escape the players).She'd be pissed, and would likely come back and confuse/convince the higher ups that it was dreadful magic cast by those witches (the PCs) "that Gallo must have sent"... or "see how Seaquen will do anything to save themselves", blah, blah, etc, etc.I don't see a reason to just skip over the rest of an awesome adventure that includes the player's first taste at mass combat in this campaign.</blockquote>
