1. When you get a message from your scout or when you spot them then try to retreat a bit and cast Merlin's Shield to all your party members - the spell transforms the Mantraps into helpless and ridiculous jesters. After casting the spell, simply go and remove the plants from Gael Serran.
2. High resistance to poison helps. It lowers the damage considerably and it seems to eliminate the paralysis transmitted by the Mantraps. With high resistance to poison, you can survive with honor even without the Merlin's Shield spell. Fighting 2 Mantraps should cost you about 50 HP.
3. The best way of getting rid of the Mantraps are the Firestorm, Icestorm or Meterorstorm spells. Nevertheless, you do not need them. I have fought 2 Mantraps with a solo character wielding a Katana +1 and not having the Merlin's Shield spell - and I survived without "run-like-hell" around.
