I had finished the Serpent Temple and STILL had trouble with those dang mantraps. I had to kill four of them to get to the samurai place. I'd recommend toning up a bit before you try it. As for killing the man traps, I'd blast them with four good shots of that level 3 Sun spell (can't remember the name at the moment) and then run for home. Enter Ishad N'ha, your mana points are topped up, then run out and blast the sucker again (always from a distance!). It usually took four to six blasts to kill one of those things. Don't let one follow you too closely back to Ishad N'ha, though. I found myself in the unpleasant position of having TWO of the dang things right outside the gate. They'd be blasting me before I even got the screen loaded and was able to fight back.
