No Conception (Dungeon Rule)
A grim rule the crew pieces together over gelato: women cannot get pregnant while crawling. Their cycles stop and the System notifies them they can't conceive until the crawl is fulfilled. Worse, according to one uncorroborated account, a woman who enters already pregnant may simply vanish (the annotator Rickard mentioned that the moment he crossed the gate with his pregnant wife, she'd disappeared and was never seen again — he himself wasn't sure what to make of it). Men, though, can still father monsters on dungeon creatures: Carl recalls a story that a party member's dungeon-conception with a succubus on Floor 3 doomed Brandon's group, though Carl elsewhere gives a conflicting account, stating Brandon died protecting the team from shade gremlins.
