I wonder if they changed it. A toll house ledger, or some sort of document in the toll house, can't remember which, mentioned something about the toll house being attacked by goblins.
However, if you notice, the toll house ledger's last date was like Uktar 16th. The guy in the toll house had been dead for A WHILE because he was stanky. The entire basement of the toll house was nasty smelling. So, it implies that the toll house had been raided days prior to the gnolls attacking the caravan on the road.
Anders and his crew had just gotten there. They had just killed a bunch of gnolls, and Karlach had just escaped them. They were picking through the bodies of their own dead and the caravan dead when you arrive.
So, many of the bodies are fresh in the area including the ones that are skinned and chopped up viciously. This leads me to wonder, then. Who mercilessly chopped up and skinned those victims recently? I suppose it could have been Karlach. As they were fighting, she just carved them up with her sword, suffered a wound, dropped the sword and ran. OR, it could be that Anders and his crew are not as friendly as they pretend to be, killing off any survivors so no one could tell the tale of who they REALLY are.
They aren't exactly dressed for battle. I have to wonder, in the end when the game is finally released, are they actually going to turn into cambions or something when you fight them? After all, they are dressed more like peasants, so who on earth were they able to fight Karlach? They certainly aren't that tough against you.
