Having just completed this quest I'm relieved that despite following through with tricking the hym I don't appear to have killed any guards and It looked to me that the hym probably died. When fighting the three guards the first got an "execution" move I'd not seen before, because geralt just bopped him on the head with his sword hilt and he fell over, the knees of the second hit the ground and a cut-scene played before I could even touch the third; I conclude that while I definitely hurt these guys they probably weren't killed, especially considering they don't leave any remains. When the hym is defeated it falls on its back, writhes screaming and dissolves into smoke, indicating to me that getting caught exposed without an available host killed it.
