I think there should be a lampshading moment to what might have been. The fact that one of the relics really was intended to be in the Death Stalker's cave (and in its tail, no less). I imagine a conversation between Ozpin and Jaune:

Ozpin: There is a reason I assigned you team leader, Jaune, make no mistake.

Jaune: What reason is that, sir? If you don't me asking, I mean... I mean, it's just that I don't see it. It doesn't make any sense.

Ozpin: Jaune, you defeated a Death Stalker, what is it exactly that you don't see?

Jaune: Well, I mean, sure... that... but that was mostly Pyrrha... and Ren... and especially Nora and her crazy hammer.

Ozpin: Jaune, never doubt your worth to your team.

Jaune: Still... I wonder if it would have been too much to ask for just a little bit more of a heads-up regarding the gigantic monsters that would be coming after us.

Ozpin: ...

Jaune: With all due respect.

Ozpin: Hmm... frankly, I wasn't expecting anyone would encounter the Nevermore or Death Stalker. Although...

Jaune: Although what?

Ozpin: Well, I originally thought up putting one of the relics in that cave... but I thought it would be far too dangerous. *winks at Jaune*

Jaune: Ha... right... *thinks* wait a minute... so I would have been right if you hadn't changed your mind?

Ozpin: Yes. And you would have acquired a relic before anyone else... assuming you managed to slice off the Death Stalker's tale.

Jaune: I would have been first... wait, the tail? I would have had to fight the Death Stalker and save the tail. *remembers the Death Stalker plummeting over the cliff... tail and all* *sighs*

...Okay, that was too long and drawn out and boring, but I'm sure RT could do it better.
