Encounters with random number of random NPCs?

Hi, I recently picked up FG and couldn't find any info about doing this on the Wiki or in the manual.
Is it possible to have an encounter that picks a random number of random NPCs?
So let's say I want to randomly populate a room with NPCs, I want to have 1d10 - 2 goblins, but I want the exact NPC to be random. So it could be 2 goblin assassins, 1 goblin mage, or vise versa, or any other random combination of 1d10 - 2 goblins. How would I do this?

On the encounters window there is a button named "Random". This brings up the window of random encounters. When you setup these, you put a dice string in for the number of creatures. When you're ready to use it, click the "Generate" button at the bottom and it randomly rolls the number of creatures and generates an encounter for you.

Thanks, that thread didn't show up from some cursory searches. Funnily enough I had already tried that, I just set it up a little wrong so I assumed it didn't work at all.
