At the windmill, have your melee fighters set their attacks to non-lethal when fighting Fezzerk (you find this option in the same place where it shows your spells and abilities, under "Passive".) Just focus on him, the rest will run if he surrenders.
I'd use the ogres for only the absolutely toughest fights. (1. The goblins outside in the big goblin camp courtyard. 2. Boss Ragzlin. 3. The githyanki patrol if you or Laezel fail deception check).
With Glut, tell her about your parasite and tell her you want her to look at it. She will then walk off to her room.
Follow, then close the door. Talk to her there, tell her you're gonna kill her, then when fighting starts have Shadowheart or Gale cast Silence on her or she will scream for help. Position casters outside the silenced zone, dps her to death.
Around goblins, try and do what you did at Minthara: Destroy war drums before fighting starts by using sneak. At boss Ragzlin, destroy the drum on the right side of the stairs from a position up on the rafters.
It's a tough fight even if they can't use war drums, though. Position your party members so that they can't be pushed or hit down to the spider pit. Use sleep or thrown bombs on enemies who are close to another. Take out Ragzlin as first priority, but he has both healers and dps (warlocks) in his group that can cast sleep on your party). Always make casters a top priority.. Spells that make enemies attack each other are also good here - make sure you have Gale (or yourself if playing wizard) learn spells like Hold Person or have Wyll get Crown of Madness spell when he levels up.
If enemy casters cast Sleep on you, have a character use shove on them to wake them.
Always take Shadowheart with you since you'll need healing, but also use scrolls with healing spells. Give some healing scrolls to Gale.
Also, remember that you learn the best strategies to fighting any enemy by replaying the fights several times. It takes time, but you will learn when and how to use each companion best in fights (or dialogue).
And seeing as you're heading to the Underdark next... try and save up some speed potions for a particular fight that will occur (possibly several times, but only once if you kill it before it flees...).
