[QUOTE="Kaisoku, post: 5196678, member: 58447"] Madness is incorporeal while looking like the gnome. This sentence sounds odd, but you have to read Madness' stat block: So she has to be incorporeal to project the image of the gnome. Otherwise, she's actually just incorporeal and a Huge non-euclidean snake that flickers between dimensions and thus looks like she's got multiple heads (it's actually one snake in more than one spot at the same time... think Cthulu level mind-bending stuff). The song of forms forces her into corporeal form, which she does by picking up something locally to "possess"... debris, a tent, a tapestry, etc. So yeah, singing the song will "reveal" her. However her stranglehold on people's minds would allow her to easily convince people that this was a spell attack against her, and not her true form. If the players had for some reason picked up on the trillith thing early and tried it at the first meeting, I would have had people shush them, and if they managed to successfully get the song out... Madness would just Mislead, run away, and come back to tell the King that it was those "meddling PCs"... agents of Seaquen working with Gallo to undermine him and drive Dassen into the ground.
