Felicia, may the gods rest her bones, actually had a use, even if it was only as another body for their enemies to target.
Her dying here is just a culmination of that use. I.E. what they hired her/what she signed up for.
Hell considering she's a locksmith heading into one of the most secure vaults in all of creation she should have been prepared for any eventuality, even for a 'Sacrifice something living door'.
Lord knows this can't be the only door in creation that has this kind of locking system, and chances are someone, somewhere, said something for long enough that it became a rumor or boogyman story for thieves throughout the wheel.
The minute they started talking about sacrifices she should have tried to shoot one of them in the head and throw them in, or at the very least go for the obviously human Addison to throw her to the proverbial wolves.
She played with the black flame, she got burned.
