So the Eurmali were guerillas in Sartar's time? I don't think so! Why should they be more disruptive against the lunars than they were against the kingdom of Sartar? Furthermore most of the Eurmali are bondsmen to a clan chief. Which means that the establishment they try and bring down is their _own_ clan!

Well IMO you are wrong. To quote from the Trickster Cult in Questlines:
'Trickster worshippers are very self-centred, and all their
like and dislikes are on a purely personal basis. They are
frequently accused of being short-sighted, willing to give
up future joy for immediate gratification.'
'Trickster's initiates are vagabonds, drunkards, madmen,
outcastes, and thieves.'
Which certainly doesn't suggest that Tricksters care for abstract
philosophical goals like Free Sartar.

I was thinking of the Hunter-Seeker in Dune. In gloranthan terms, it would be a levitating dagger that seeks out its victims by earthsense. The blade will probably be enchanted with magic poison.
As for high-tech, I think that so long as the technology is suitably exotic with a magical/alchemical taint then one can get away with more higher tech stuff than a rifled musket. For instance if one wants the mostali to use poison gas then having a cauldron that bubbled forth greenish vapours would be okay IMO.

Elder Secrets has stats for _a_ battle triceratops.

No stats are available for them but they are most likely to be found in Genertela whereever there are dragonewts and on the Pamaltelan Plains.
