"Guilefully" is a word (at least according to Merriam-Webster), but you're right that it doesn't sound right. "Gleefully" doesn't sound right, either, because that doesn't really fit in with the Ogron drawing a finger across his throat. Maybe "balefully"?

On page 133 of The Kingdoms of Terror, a sentence reads "We've heard noises in the 
"Hell-hole" late at night,' he says guilefully, 'horrible noises."
I don't think "guilefully" is a word, and if it were it would mean deceptively, which 
doesn't make sense in context. I suspect the word should be "gleefully."
