        Actually, I think the vow is to not harm a sentient creature
(somebody correct me if I'm wrong). That would apply to most chaotics as

well, although not to things like skeletons or gorp. Overall, though, this
provides a nice quandry for the healer in my game (who already feels she's
stretched the rule by smashing a skeleton).
        Judging from other responses, the suggestion seems to be that the
healer should cure it of chaos and then deliver it normally. Two problems
with this: 1) What if the host is male> How does one deliver a man of a
child (although I suppose Nandani know something about this).
2) Even with a female host, Broo larvae eat their way out of their host
when they're ready to be born. This doesn't seem to be something

associated with their chaotic nature but rather a basic element of their
life cycle. So how do you deliver even a female host of a broo larva
without killing the host? Caesarian section?
        It looks like my PCs might wind up having to go to a Deezolan,
which should cause quite a problem for them, given how much they hate
Lunars.
