I don't think it is so easy to kill a Trickster: they are used to feign death and similar things IMG. Also they are masters of illusion and elusion. Usually, moreover, they are protected by a powerful thane (because there _is_ a reason they are still around :-))

I add that, for their master, Trickter are fairly precious "properties": difficult to replace (in KODG when your Eurmali dies you don't get flocks of new initiates). So they should be jealously defended most of the time, like a noisy and stinky big dog, award-winning in canine contests, in RW.
