A random result will be collated from each column

d100	Good-Aligned Group to be Targeted	Intended Method of Destruction
1-5	All followers and worshippers of a particular deity	Alter effects of the group’s activities, turning the results into something deleterious instead of beneficial (poisoning new wells, appointing cruel masters to run the new orphanage, etc.). Less creative villains might just be sabotaging the projects once finished (burning the orphanage instead of turning it into an evil training ground, for example).
6-10	All good-aligned individuals in a particular area	Animal or non-summoned monster trained (or otherwise prepared by magic, or breeding) to hunt down the targeted members of the community
11-15	All powerful good-aligned individuals in a particular area	Arson directed at a building, holy site, or meeting place of the community (likely part of a larger pattern of intimidation)
16-20	An association dominated by leaders of good alignment (ranging from a charitable brotherhood to a guild of merchants whose leaders are staunchly good)	Arson directed at the residences of members of the community.
21-25	Anyone disregarding a particular evil-oriented law (or decree of an evil temple not actually part of the government) such as a requirement to wear an evil symbol or worship an evil idol, refusal to contribute to the army of an evil warlord, etc.	Cause diseases (infection or supernatural)
26-30	Anyone returning from a pilgrimage to a particular holy site	Economic sabotage
31-35	Anyone supporting a good-aligned leader during a time of evil rebellion and riots	Giving dangerous gifts that do something more than what they appear to do. Snakes hidden in gifts are a very simple example.
36-40	Anyone who was present at a particular religious ritual held in the recent past	Indirect murders by poison or traps. Generally this will involve enticing community members to a particular location, or targeting a place where the members meet.
41-45	Apprentices or henchmen of a powerful good-aligned individual such as a good wizard. To make this unclear at the outset, the initial targets might be the apprentices of the original apprentices.	Infiltration and dissention. The villain has a way to join (or have one of his minions join) the community, who will then spread lies that will break the community apart. Faked evidence might be involved.
46-50	Descendants of those who attended a particular religious event in the forgotten or even ancient past	Kidnapping and brainwashing
51-55	Followers of a good-aligned prophet’s teachings (possibly being identified because they wear a particular holy symbol or amulet)	Outside slander. Instead of spreading lies within the community, the villain spreads lies about the community to everyone else. The objective is to cause mob violence or legal oppression that will break or kill the members of the community.
56-60	Jury or judge that convicted an evil leader	Overt attacks on members by villain himself
61-65	Members of a race known to be predominantly of good alignment (dwarves, for instance)	Overt attacks on members of community by villain’s minions
66-70	Members of an underground freedom movement in a tyrannical government (villain might be a member of the secret police or the inquisition)	Overt attacks on members of community by villain’s minions
71-75	Members of underground religious movement in an evil theocratic region or an area in which an evil religion holds considerable authority	Serial robberies (can include robberies of the group’s caravans, homes, or places of business as well as direct robberies such as muggings).
76-80	Military order affiliated with good alignment but no particular faith	Stealthy murders by villain himself
81-85	Military order attached to a particular faith	Stealthy murders by villain himself
86-90	Military order attached to a particular good-aligned temple	Stealthy murders by villain’s minions
91-95	Only the priests and higher followers of a particular deity	Stealthy murders by villain’s minions
96-100	Poverty-stricken people of good alignment in a certain area	Summoned monster (a demon, spectral thing, or extra- planar horror) ordered to hunt down and slay members of the community
