Gathroc rushes the lead vampire, cutting low to avoid hitting Gabe
Reflex:
The mohrg reacts quick enough to avoid being swallowed in a sphere of force. Ignac remains poised as the battle begins with a flying hand.
Gabriel strikes the vampire heavily, but does not get hold of his foe... who reacts by lunging at the tiny warrior...
Grapple:
...though not managing to grip him.
Daemon moves from hiding with his spell at the ready as Gathroc charges forward to deliver a mighty strike... that the vampire weaves away from at the last moment.

The mohrg undulates once more before soaring into the air above the conflict.
The spawn then crowd Gathroc and Gabriel, lashing out with claws...
Gathroc: at +8 - two hits for
Gabriel: at +8 - no hits

You can use dispel magic to end one ongoing spell that has been cast on a creature or object, to temporarily suppress the magical abilities of a magic item, or to counter another spellcaster's spell. A dispelled spell ends as if its duration had expired. Some spells, as detailed in their descriptions, can't be defeated by dispel magic. Dispel magic can dispel (but not counter) spell-like effects just as it does spells. The effect of a spell with an instantaneous duration can't be dispelled, because the magical effect is already over before the dispel magic can take effect.
You choose to use dispel magic in one of two ways: a targeted dispel or a counterspell.
Targeted Dispel: One object, creature, or spell is the target of the dispel magic spell. You make one dispel check (1d20 + your caster level) and compare that to the spell with highest caster level (DC = 11 + the spell's caster level). If successful, that spell ends. If not, compare the same result to the spell with the next highest caster level. Repeat this process until you have dispelled one spell affecting the target, or you have failed to dispel every spell.
For example, a 7th-level caster casts dispel magic, targeting a creature affected by stoneskin (caster level 12th) and fly (caster level 6th). The caster level check results in a 19. This check is not high enough to end the stoneskin (which would have required a 23 or higher), but it is high enough to end the fly (which only required a 17). Had the dispel check resulted in a 23 or higher, the stoneskin would have been dispelled, leaving the fly intact. Had the dispel check been a 16 or less, no spells would have been affected.
You can also use a targeted dispel to specifically end one spell affecting the target or one spell affecting an area (such as a wall of fire). You must name the specific spell effect to be targeted in this way. If your caster level check is equal to or higher than the DC of that spell, it ends. No other spells or effects on the target are dispelled if your check is not high enough to end the targeted effect.
If you target an object or creature that is the effect of an ongoing spell (such as a monster summoned by summon monster), you make a dispel check to end the spell that conjured the object or creature.
If the object that you target is a magic item, you make a dispel check against the item's caster level (DC = 11 + the item's caster level). If you succeed, all the item's magical properties are suppressed for 1d4 rounds, after which the item recovers its magical properties. A suppressed item becomes nonmagical for the duration of the effect. An interdimensional opening (such as a bag of holding) is temporarily closed. A magic item's physical properties are unchanged: A suppressed magic sword is still a sword (a masterwork sword, in fact). Artifacts and deities are unaffected by mortal magic such as this.
You automatically succeed on your dispel check against any spell that you cast yourself.
Counterspell: When dispel magic is used in this way, the spell targets a spellcaster and is cast as a counterspell. Unlike a true counterspell, however, dispel magic may not work; you must make a dispel check to counter the other spellcaster's spell.
That's the wording you're after I think - you can specifically dispel his flight spell.
It you didn't choose, then I'd start at the highest level spell and work down.
Vesta's arcane words have the desired effect and the mohrg plummets from the sky, the dweamor that sustained his flight vanishing.

4d6 falling damage
Vesta cocks her head slightly and gives him crazy eyes as he unceremonisously lands. She says, "B@#~+." very calmly as if it is his name.
Ignac will jump off the rafter, taking probably about = 0 damage, unless the ground is magical.
He will then try to make his way over to the battle.
He is unsuccessful, however, and once he finds that he can not move forward, he unleashes a wave of electrical force at the wall in anger, just catching the two in E14 and E15.
With nothing better to do, Gabriel pointedly ignores the spawn, and tumbles to a flank with Gathroc , before continuing to pummel the vampire...
"Neat trick" The Dullahan says when the vampire avoids his initial strike "But can you do it against all my blows?" With that he attacks with the full might of Zhennuelge
Touch attack
Just prior to Gathroc's vicious rain of blows he feels an invisible hand touch his shoulder and unnatural strength fills his frame. Black energy crackles around him as his bulk increases.
After Vesta causes the mohrg to drop to the ground, Ignac appears within the barn and sends a wave of electricity coursing over a pair of the spawn...
Reflex: and
...though despite them being caught with the full force of the blast, their flesh resists it somewhat.
Gabriel spins his way past his foes into a more advantageous position before lashing out ineffectually against the vampire.
The vampire renews his defenses laughing "But why would I need to?" dancing lithely away from Gathroc...
Acrobatics:
...and beckoning him to follow.
Daemon delivers the charged spell into Gathroc - strengthening his form.

Gathroc actually chuckles at the vampires evasion "Ah. A craven coward, too afraid to actually stand and fight. Instead you would rather dance around the battlefield like a castoff from a circus. No matter, I shall destroy your minions first, then deal with you".
Ignax Sighs, dropping his shield and bardiche to the ground, before drawing a longbow, making a single shot at the head vampire.
Gathroc's blade wreaks bloody ruin against the spawn, slaying two outright and gravely wounding a third.
The mohrg pushes itself off the ground before beginning to undulate...
Defensive Cast:
...vanishing from sight, and the spawn strike outwards with claws once more...
Gathroc:
Gabriel: one hit for
...mostly ineffectual, but once rakes across the knuckles of the disembodied rogue.
Ignac looses an arrow that thumps forcibly into brawny vampire.

Gabriel continues to pummel the head vampire...
Vesta casts see invisibility on herself then very loudly proclaims and points to where the Mhorg is including pointing.

However his mirth is short-lived as Daemon's incantation robs him of his sight. The vampire howls in torment as it keeps grip of Gabriel but barely.

I smile to myself with satisfaction having known that the spell I just cast had been a long shot.
Gathroc closes the gap on the lead vampire, once more attempting to strike a mighty blow
Gathroc's strike blasts through the vampire's defenses as though they were tissue paper and inflicts a heavy blow. The vampire is definitely still in the fight, but as he coughs his lips become stained with blood and his eyes grow crazed.
The spawn give off a keening wail and rush to the assistance of their sire...
Attacks: for

The mohrg scurries further beneath the meat wagon, in an attempt to remove himself from the field of view as well as to a perceived relative safety.

Ignac takes a few more shots at the lead vampire, trying not to hit any of his companions.
Gabriel struggles within the vampire's grasp, scratching his hand to ribbons!
Vesta throws a targeted dispel magic at the Mhorg. Specifically trying to target his invisiblity.
Dispel check
I rolled a very good perception check earlier, but here is another if you need it. Remember I can see invisibility, so He doesn't get the +20 and he needs cover to stay hidden from me. I'm sure you know that, but just a reminder because I know how much a DM has to keep track of.

As beast shape III, except that you change the subject into a Small
or smaller animal of no more than 1 HD. If the new form would
prove fatal to the creature, such as an aquatic creature not in
water, the subject gets a +4 bonus on the save.
If the spell succeeds, the subject must also make a Will save. If this
second save fails, the creature loses its extraordinary, supernatural,
and spell-like abilities, loses its ability to cast spells (if it had the
ability), and gains the alignment, special abilities, and Intelligence,
Wisdom, and Charisma scores of its new form in place of its own. It
still retains its class and level (or HD), as well as all benefits deriving
therefrom (such as base attack bonus, base save bonuses, and hit
points). It retains any class features (other than spellcasting) that
aren’t extraordinary, supernatural, or spell-like abilities.
Any polymorph e#ects on the target are automatically dispelled
when a target fails to resist the e#ects of baleful polymorph, and as
long as baleful polymorph remains in e#ect, the target cannot use
other polymorph spells or efects to assume a new form. Incorporeal
or gaseous creatures are immune to baleful polymorph, and a
creature with the shapechanger subtype can revert to its natural
form as a standard action.
The look of rage on the vampire's face deepens as another bowstrike decorates his chest before Gabriel's ministrations wreak havoc upon him. Although he retains a grip on the disembodied hand, the foul magics that sustain Gabriel's form allow him to wriggle and writhe free enough to take gouges out of the vampire's cheek and neck...
Sneak Attack:
...and as the second claw strike scythes home the vampire's grip weakens and Gabriel is able to free himself. The vampire crumples to the ground and struggles against the claw's vice like grip upon his throat.
The vampire spawn howl with abject pain at the felling of their sire, demonic eyes boring into Gathroc with rage.
Vesta tracks the mohrg's retreat beneath the meatwagon and forcibly dispels the invisibility it drew about itself, rendering it freely visible. The mohrg goes stock still and Vesta feels words form in her mind The day is lost... Surrender possible?

Vesta says and thinks aloud.
"Yes you can surrender. Thow your weapons aside and stand there." Vesta points to a spot with no cover or concealment.
I didn't roll anything because though Vesta has no idea if her friends will kill him or not, nothing is preventing him from surrendering. The action and the result are independent. ;-)
You get a sense of momentary confusion from the mohrg... given it holds no weapons and merely exists as a parasite attached to a skeletal host Thoughts of others I would know
Spoke and said
"I'm not sure what they think, but if you stand where I direct I'll encase you in a sphere of force and we can talk to them when they finish off your minions."
If the Mhorg does as instructed Vesta will drop a resilient sphere on him.
Not wishing to waste anymore of my spells and seeing that the others have things well in hand I go over with Vesta to converse with the Mhorg. "I will agree to your surrender if you assist us with knowledge of this caravan and help us finish our mission with it." I say.
Ignac thinks for a second. Vesta, why finish off the minions if we can use them?
"If we are to make use of them, then I am for that. Otherwise, allow me to finish them, quickly"
The vampiric spawn do not listen to reason, and assault the party only to be easily cut down by Gathroc and Ignac. Gabriel keeps a firm grip on the lead vampire's neck, occasionally gouging his nails a little deeper in the knowledge of their kind's regenerative ability... but it is slightly confusing that he has not reverted to a form of mist to flee.
The mohrg cautiously and slowly moves to where Vesta indicates, and willingly submits to the encasement.

Vesta throws a resilient sphere on the spawn. then turns back. "I might be able to possess one to use as cover." Vesta will then move through the combatants and attempt to possess one, starting with Gabriels.
Ignac is able to bend the spawn to his will, and Vesta finds their immature minds much more easily conquered.
