The two of them are a lovely pair, huh? I always let the guy live, and yes, you do get experience for the quest (even tho marked as failed in the journal) when you report back to whatshisname who gave you the job.
As I vaguely recall now, setting traps works something like making the traps skill the current one, then cycling through the trap types until scorpion comes up. Then you click (don't remember if that's left or right click, sorry) where you want the trap placed and there it is, alive and kicking. You would normally do this when an enemy or ten are nearby. I suggest saving the game and playing around with that to get the details set. Then you'll know what to do when a fight really starts.
