Given it seems Ozpin witheld important information about the Relic from Qrow even, I kind of wonder if it is because there is something about them he doesn't want to share with the rest of them. After all, the Grimm are generally said to be attracted to human emotion. One wonders how a supposedly inanimate object could be attractive to the Grimm if that were true. Granted, supposedly, the Grimm weren't always focused on just humans so it could be more than that. It is not lost on me that the Sphinx appeared to be commanding the other Grimm during that fight and Salem obviously has some control over them.

It also raises a question of exactly how strongly Grimm are attracted to those Relics and how insulated those Relics are from detection. Salem obviously knows their general location, but can't pinpoint it exactly yet it also doesn't seem the Grimm are quite that perceptive. Perhaps there is a reason the Academies housing the Relics are so often removed from the rest of the population. A lot of implications involved in this one. He has tended to have a reason to hold back key details and it would seem likely there is a reason for it here, specifically the reason why Grimm are attracted to the Relic or the implications of them being attracted to the Relics.
