I've written some random encounter tables for the entire dungeon, so I figured I would share!
If you're playing at the table, I recommend using the Angry GM's Tension Pool mechanic for random encounters. Since I'm playing on VTT, I just roll a 60% of encounter check roughly once per hour in the dungeon (max 2 rolls per long rest inside the dungeon), or when my players do something particularly noisy or stupid.
I've kept the encounters fairly tame, as I find the threat of a random encounter is usually enough to get my players to behave. The encounters could certainly be beefed up some more if your players stop being afraid of them.

Nice, thanks for sharing.
I recently made a small random encounter table for my group as well (currently at level 6), as I wanted to create a more dynamic outside environment (swamps/ruins). My party cleared out the mitflits several in-game weeks ago and I want them to stay on their toes.
Rolling 1d4:
1. Boggard Hunter (CL 7) + 2 Boggard Warriors (CL 2)
2. Cultists*: Nhimbaloth Demagogue (CL 7) + 2 Nhimbaloth Cultist (CL1)
3. Absalom Agents*: Garggin Lowdelver (CL 5) + 2 Bruisers (CL 5)
4. Elite Young Black Dragon** (CL 8)
* If you haven't already, I recommend checking out the Abomination Vault's GM Guide. Lots of interesting options, including these random encounters.
** My party skipped the *entire* second level (servant's quarters), so this will probably be a reskin for the Freznelkesh-encounter.
