I had the same problem the first time round too. The bad news for you is that now that you've led the mantraps to town, they are waiting for you right outside when you go out of Ishad N'Ha again. Here are some suggestions for you:

1. Run (make sure you are using the shift key) as fast as you can past the mantraps, taking the damage and go all the way to the castle. You'll take quite a lot of hits, but hopefully your spellcasters can survive and you can launch spells at them once they catch up with you at the castle

2. Take on the mantraps at the gates. As soon as you leave Ishad N'Ha, prepare your distance spells - flamestrike seems to work very well.. If you have the storm spells, use these too. As soon as your party is getting severely hurt, dash back into town to heal up..Go back again and bash it out.. they don't heal whereas you can..

3. Reload your last saved game before your mantrap encounter..

4. I haven't tried this myself, but I have read that the amazoni mantraps are a cinch if you get real close and take them on in melee..

Good luck because there I think in easy mode there are 3 amazoni mantraps (4 in hard setting). (Un)fortunately, these are the only time you meet these guys - and by the time you meet their cousins the jungle lilies in Dragonspire, you should be tough enough to blow them away..
