It was Uriel's first fight and he was already wounded and experiencing the symptoms of blood loss. For a minute he was tempted to cut his hunt short to recover and then try again another day with miss Dragonfang's help, but that meant abandoning his faithful Jaguar who was now running amok inside the vampire's nest.
Although his trait allowed Uriel to store the jaguar spirit inside the clay figurine whenever he wanted, it was only possible in close proximity which meant the jaguar was on its own until Uriel showed up.
Thankfully, in spite of the distance, Uriel was still able to feel the bond with the jaguar and it didn't seem to be in distress. On the contrary, it seemed excited and anxious to face the cryptid that nearly costed it its life inside the Alamo dungeon.
