so it comes to a point where the trickster will have to ponder what
his victims are allowed/expected to do to him if he reveals their
secret.
if they are not allowed to kill him, he gladly will do so, otherwise
he will stick to minor nuisances...(?)

sorry, but I couldn't find better fitting expressions, but when I now think of it 'disorder' would have been the better choice.

the trickster in my story in bond to the chieftain.
because of this I didn't expect the clanpeople to hang him at first
sight.
on the other hand, of course I could have missed something about the
role of trickster. I checked Storm Tribe, though.
