    Actually, Roy said "friends" and Gannji said "you and every other family member or comrade in arms. No can do, Sparky".

    He didn't care whether it was friend, family member, or comrade in arms- he simply gave Enor the "attack" codeword.

    They still managed to capture them without killing them.
    A "female rogue" and a "elf wizard" were on the Wanted poster. So they knew Nale had cohorts.

    The key part is knowing that they are high level- thus- they can deliver at least one lethal blow without actual danger of death to the target.

My observation is, for Ron "non-lethal damage" is equivalent to "less damage than necessary to kill an opponent". Though that is semantically correct, in D&D terms it is not. Lethal damage is a kind of damage that can kill you, if it reduces your hit points to -10. Non-lethal damage may only knock you unconscious.

    Non-lethal damage is quite useful for a bounty hunters, as it allows them to go all-out until the target is unconscious. Lethal damage, though able to knock a target out as well - by reducing it hit points to 0 to -9 - has the risk of outright killing it.
    Any target at negative hit points (-1 to -9) is "dying"- that is, they automatically lose hit points every round, but have a chance of stabilizing.

    However, a character who has taken both lethal and nonlethal damage, will usually fall unconscious before they reach negative hit points.
