Which file contains the script for the random encounter before reaching de'arnise keep?

Each time traveling from athkatla to de'arnise keep I get waylaid by the same group of bandits. They never show up again after the invasion quest is solved. I checked the script of 'AR1300' and area codes within athkatla but found nothing for triggering the encounter. Which file should I look into?

Regarding this matter, here are two such links in BG2EE:
From area 11 (City Gates, AR0020), east link 9 to area 9 (de'Arnise Hold, AR1300): Distance scale 2 (8 hours), random encounter area AR0043 (wilderness with rocks), random encounter probability 100.
From area 11 (City Gates, AR0020), east link 12 to area 13 (de'Arnise Hold, AR1304): Distance scale 2 (8 hours), random encounter area AR0043 (wilderness with rocks), random encounter probability 0.
The latter is the version of the keep that appears if you do the fighter stronghold. So, if you happen to play a fighter and take on the responsibility for managing the keep, you'll never get random encounters when traveling from Athkatla to the keep. If you don't take on that responsibility, you'll always get random encounters when traveling from Athkatla to the keep. Or from Athkatla to farther east through the keep, since it's often on the shortest routes.
What shows up when you enter a random encounter area is determined by that area's script; the SoA campaign progresses through a fixed list of one-time encounters and then just settles on repeating the same generic bandits when you finish the list.
