>You consider if Yuugi would take them. As far as you know, if she wanted them originally, she probably could have claimed them for winning the fight. You're not sure if she even can take them from you now. Well, unless she tries to sever the connection between you and them by tearing your head off. But you don't think that's her style.

>Yuugi nods. "Yeah, can't tell you much about it. Only it lives up to the name. But its caverns is pretty much the one place we don't go, since the bleedin' thing will get ya. But if she hid something so it can't be found, I'd bet my horn that's where she put it at. But I'm not gonna tell you not to go, just don't expect nobody to give you a funeral if it gets you."
>"Anyways, you find it going west of the city, like. And...uh..." Yuugi moves her hands, probably trying to express directions, pausing every couple seconds. "...Go ask Nue, my zogging head hurts. She's got maps."

>Nue frowns deeply "Reisen, you don't wanna go there," she says. "Trust me. You really, really don't want to go there. That thing's been around as long as any of us can remember, and no one who's tried to beat it comes back. No one. And it only messes with people who go in its domain, so there's no real reason to even try it except bravado."

>"I thought those looked weird on you..." says Nue. "Well, alright, if you have a reason. Just...don't fight that thing. I don't know if you can run from it and get away, but I am pretty sure you can't fight it. Gimme a couple minutes, I need to find the right map."
>She leaves the bar and disappears through a door into the back. A few minutes pass before she returns, bearing a rolled up paper. "I'll rent this to you, for 500☼" Nue says, playing the paper on the bar and unrolling it. "If you get it back to me, I'll give you...let's say 450☼ back, alright?"
>The map is fairly large, and you can quickly tell it's not complete, several spots run off the page. You pick out the Ancient city on it pretty quick, and a sizable blacked in area that simply reads, "No return." The path between the two is complex enough that you can't immediately pick it out. You aren't sure you can memorize it if you did know it.

>"If we knew any weaknesses, we'd probably not worry so much about it," says Nue. "No one's seen it and live to tell the tale. All I can really say for sure is this is it's home," she gestures toward the blacken part of the map. "I've got no idea how large or small that is, just that no one's ever been able to tell me what's there, and I don't have the heart to go further myself. There's a story that you can smell lightning in the air when it's close, but anyone who tells that story never met it. But I wouldn't hang around if I smelled it. There's also a story that it's something that crawled out of Former Hell, but, well, no way to confirm it."
