David Hall tells a story of Elmal/Yelmalio where Elmal "wins" at the Hill of Gold because he's been armed by Orlanth, can fight off Zorak Zoran, "thaws" the frigid Inora, and so brings back the Spring at the successful conclusion of the Lightbringers Quest.
The Yelmalio schismatics refused any aid from Orlanth and say that their god was disarmed by the Barbarian: the weapons that should have been his were stolen away. He is thus surprised and wounded by Zorak Zoran, is not "lustful" enough to warm Inora, and must suffer through the long cold night of Chaos until Father Yelm reascends to bring light and life to the world.
A version of this was printed in the RQCon Compendium and the Convulsion '94 Programme Book.

Probably, yes. The unborn broo is a parasite within its host, stealing whatever nutrition it can and eventually clawing its way out. You probably wouldn't get a "ghoul broo" (as the ghoul is a dead body animated by an unclean spirit), or a "vampire broo" (ditto), but you'd get something that was cold and clammy and smelled pretty nasty...
I feel almost sorry for the broo and vampire involved, though.
And yep, you're right: Hurrah for Variety!
