AFAIK, Broo reproduction and CA vows are two subjects which any
Gloranthopile around the world sees differently. I found several official
contradictions, in the official rules, aplliaple just to these two
instances. I am afraid, Andy.
IMG, Chalanas can't use weapons, but can destroy undead or chaotics with
magic or other means, even if it's not their job, usually. I think that
Chalana can harm people: in Borderlands, Optash, the male Chalana who obeyed
Quicktail, the newtling gangster, was a major enemy of my PCs. He tried to
put them to sleep when flying or when fighting, two ways to really harm
someone. He was eventually captured, excommunicated by CA Ladies and he is
now a repentant good guy.
<< 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

I inferred that a Broo Larva, treated with anti-chaos magic, dies. It
doesn't deliver anything.
<<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.>>
Where is you campaign located? You have only Deezolans at hand? I would try
with Chalanas or Ernaldans, at first. Or Xiola Umbars. I think that even
Gorgorma could help a female to rid herself of a Broo Larva, though not in a
pleasant way!!!
