Vault of the Gilded Hand
Lockpick puzzle

A thieves'-guild vault door: six pins that bind in a hidden order, and drop together when a pick breaks.
The Gilded Hand does not trust its own members. Its vault lock binds its six pins in an order only the guildmaster knows, and a single broken pick lets every one of them fall back into place.
Six pins, black steel, and a faint violet ward humming behind the plate.
