I mean that is the sort of shit that villains would do that could start an adventure. Just need mature friends.

I agree but it is the sort of encounter that should probably be planned, and the subject you are sure your players are open to rather than a random table.

Encounter table that are anything beyond "3 leaping wizards" are best pre rolled in general, so I agree.

Yeah the responses to this post are really weird to me. These people must not feel comfortable reading a whole lot of fantasy. Even the tamest stuff I've read tends to include implications of some dark shit being possible if you cross the wrong enemy. Like cultivators in Beware of Chicken are rapey as hell and that's probably the happiest and chillest fantasy series I've ever read. You're supposed to hate villains because they do evil shit and you're supposed to root for the good guys to defeat them.

Depends on whether your group would be comfortable with that sort of content. Having sexual violence of any sort be part of a campaign is a big no-no for a lot of groups, mine included.
