Skunks use their spray as a defense mechanism when trapped or pursued
They use it when someone diturbs them as a defence mechanism and then the skunk gets away when its predator is disturbed... :)

A skunk has four legs for locomotion. Since they have their musk as a defense mechanism, they donâ??t walk quickly.

It is very doubtful that a Marten would kill and eat a skunk. They are better geared towards eating rodents, bird's and bird's eggs. While they are opportunistic enough to consume carrion if they ran across a dead skunk, the size difference as well as the skunk's smelly defence mechanism are probably enough of a deterrent to make the marten choose easier prey
