He 5-foot-steps forward and - magically enhanced - swings his longhammer in a flurry of blows. full attack

@Melek: If you move out of the way (5-foot step left on the map), Dimak can make a 5-foot step and a full-attack - thanks to haste that would be 3 instead of 1 attack(s). :-)

For a second Dimak looks a bit disappointed that he wasn't the one who dealt the killing blow. But moments later he lets out a hearty "Ha! Well done, comrades!"
He ends his rage to conserve energy, then hands the cleric a wand of CLW again. "Nemesis, would you be so kind and heal me up again?"

Does the creature have the feat Combat Reflexes? If not, it should still be flat-footed:

Yes. Dimak's longhammer is a reach weapon; enlarged he has a reach of 20 feet and can attack anything in 15-20 feet with it. And in the range of 0-10 feet he can attack with his helmet. ^_^
Found the online rules for large creatures with reach weapons:
Large, Huge, Gargantuan, and Colossal Creatures wrote:
Very large creatures take up more than 1 square.
Creatures that take up more than 1 square typically have a natural reach of 10 feet or more, meaning that they can reach targets even if they aren’t in adjacent squares.
Unlike when someone uses a reach weapon, a creature with greater than normal natural reach (more than 5 feet) still threatens squares adjacent to it. A creature with greater than normal natural reach usually gets an attack of opportunity against you if you approach it, because you must enter and move within the range of its reach before you can attack it. This attack of opportunity is not provoked if you take a 5-foot step.
Large or larger creatures using reach weapons can strike up to double their natural reach but can’t strike at their natural reach or less. (Source)

The barbarian has been marked by the spirits, as indicated by an impressive tattoo, scar, or birthmark she possesses. Once per rage, as a swift action that costs 2 rounds of rage, the barbarian can call upon the spirits' favor. Using auspicious mark grants her a +1d6 bonus on one d20 roll she has just made. She can call on the auspicious mark after seeing the result of the d20 roll.

No, not yet.
"Ok, ok, you're right, Prilla. That's far enough without the others. Let's go back to them and talk tactics."
Dimak turns around and moves back to the first room. He sheathes his nodachi and draws his magic longhammer.
As Igor has informed us about the creature, I think before any further exploring we should take care of this threat. And we can buff ourselves before the encounter. Afterwards, it would be great if Tiny Pebble could scan the already explored sections for more creatures.

Unless you are in a hurry to get into another combat before that spell wears off, I'm going to say that time passed as it takes time to explore each room, like a couple of minutes each. If you really want to keep it going, you can reposition yourself so that other creature on the map finds you and combat starts. We can say you're on round 6 if you want to start that combat, otherwise any spell that has a duration less than 5 minutes, I'm going to say wore off by now.
I'm not in a hurry to get into another combat, so it's fine that the spell wears off. And before we deliberately start the next combat, Igor can use Dimak's wand of enlarge person on him again, and Prilla can use his wand of bless on the party.
Dimak moves down the hallway and checks out the stairs to his left. (see map)

You roll a d20 and record your lucky number (e.g. let's say you got a 3). Sometimes later you roll a 3 again. Now you can use the spell once to either reroll or add a +2 luck bonus to the result.

@Party: As I wrote in gameplay - Dimak has a wand of Lucky Number. If you (and/or your familiar/animal companion) want this buff, just roll a D20, and I'll mark off the charges.

Unfortunately, Lucky Number works differently:
Lucky Number wrote:
You are able to tweak tiny variables affecting a creature’s immediate future in order to grant the target a bit of luck at the right time. Roll a d20; once during the duration of lucky number, when the target creature rolls that result (regardless of what type of dice the target rolls), the creature has the option to either reroll the result or add a +2 luck bonus to the result. The creature must decide to use this ability before the success or failure of the original roll is known. A creature can have only one lucky number at a time. If lucky number is cast on a creature already affected by that spell, the new number replaces the previous one.

Hm... two enemies so close to the entrance? I'll better use a weapon without reach for this fight!
Dimak enters the room wielding his cold iron nodachi. When the large barbarian sees the creatures, his facial expression changes to fury. free action to enter rage
He 5-foot-steps forward and hacks at the plant creature on the left.

Given the familiars ability, Dimak and whoever else was next to him, you can reposition yourselves if you want or switch places with someone, you can go to the back if you want. You won't get a surprise round cause those creatures are looking right at the entrance, unless you cast invisibility before entering those squares, but this assumes the creatures don't have blindsense, but you know there are 2 creatures around the corner. However, this does mean you can buff up if you want, cause init doesn't start until Dimak and the person next to him are in those squares.
Dimak surely would like to buff himself up before combat! He will hand out a few wands to our casters for that - one of these can be used on every party member (if they want to get this buff, of course): Lucky Number. Just roll a D20, everyone, I'll mark off the charges.
Wand of bless ---> Prilla
Wand of infernal healing ---> Igor (for arcane emergency healing)
Wand of enlarge person ---> Igor, please use it on Dimak before he enters the first room.

"Not my thing, either!", a dwarf with black hair and pale skin answers. He is wearing hide armor and also carrying a very long hammer made of adamantine, some fine dwarven craftsmanship. When poetry is mentioned, his eyes light up and grinning he exclaims:
"For colorful poetry
Just call the cavalry
If you wonder who that could be
Ask a great poet - me!

He laughs loudly at his own crude humor, then he stops and introduces himself briefly.

He pats the massive head of his hammer.

But I make enemies cry."
As I already warned you: Dimak just loves to make crude jokes, mostly in the form of short rhymes. (Gotta show his extremely low CHA somehow!)

Dwarf Barbarian incoming! :-D
Dimak Doomhammer is a STR-frontliner with a +1 adamantine longhammer (reach!), a MW cold iron Nodachi, a MW silver earth breaker, a MW silver Dwarven Boulder Helmet (which is a weapon, too), Combat Reflexes and Power Attack who likes to be enlarged. If ranged attacks are necessary, he uses his sling. His best skills are physical (Acrobatics, Climb, Swim), he looks a bit intimidating (Intimidate) and he knows a few things about surviving outdoors, too (Handle Animal, Knowledge: Nature, Ride, Survival). Recently, the barbarian bought magical glasses (Eyes of the Eagle) to enhance his vision and an also magical clasp (Swarmbane Clasp) to be able to battle those pesky swarms with his weapons. He has no magic talent at all, but is quite curious about it and has no problem using it to his advantage (UMD) although it usually takes him a few tries to get one of his wands (CLW, Infernal Healing, Comprehend Languages, Enlarge Person, Bless, Lucky Number) to work.
He also loves to make crude jokes, mostly in the form of short rhymes.

Dimak hates being ignored. He gets visibly angry. starting rage (free action)
"Are you deaf? Step away from that book! NOW!"
The barbarian steps a few feet forward and waits for the opponent to make a move.

Opening all tunnels except #2 would also work. ;-) Well, it wouldn’t be that simple if we hadn't recognized and translatd the azlanti symbols. I think it's fine.
