Success

Picking the lock

[...]

[...] Something massive stirs deep underground.

Soldiers fall. [...] Overturned on their shells, they skitter and roll like billiards [...]

[...] A gargantuan tongue squirms from the pit – and the Naturalist twists the right Key in his skin, unlocking another future.


Failure

Still locked tight

You assure the Hunched Inquisitor that you don't intend to escape. All these lock-picks in your pockets? The files? Hairpins? You were just testing the citadel's security. Now that your illicit tools have been confiscated, you feel much safer.
