You can run into an Ogre, if you leave the road, but I wouldn't suggest it with a 4 man level 1 party. Better to wait till you get Kahlid and Jaheira. It's been a while that I played it, but I think there are some Hobgoblins around the Friendly Arm Inn, though argubly not on the direct route either, but they are involved in a side quest to retrieve a heirloom neckless or something for a woman in one of the houses to the left of the inn entrance inside the wall.
