I admit, I hadn't considered the prospect of Raven going after the relic. She clearly knows of their existence and has someone who can get access to it. The implication from the opening is that there will be a showdown between some of Salem's crew and Raven's tribe. Given Yang is looking for Raven and Weiss got captured, there is a good chance they will help Raven's tribe in a "enemy of enemy" situation. Cinder and Salem wouldn't know about Weiss or Yang being there either. So they are sort of setting it up to be a four-on-four: Emerald and Mercury against Weiss and Yang with Cinder and Watts against the Spring Maiden and Raven.
