And now, the traditional first-of-Jaunt screaming

[failgoyle]

SO I'M A STONE GARGOYLE AND I'M OUT IN THE SUN AND THE WIND IS CARRYING ME AWAY AND THIS IS BAD REALLY BAD I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING OUT HERE AND MY HOUSE IS GONE AND THIS IS THE WORST!

[Someone might have noticed all this fuss.]

Okay, but I'm going back for the guy who sold me a house that blew over in the wind, gonna see if I can get my money back in a form that's not iron nails...

[all_onis_are_true]

Are you certain? Perhaps I should investigate the economy of this place more. Those nails may be worth more than we think.

[failgoyle]

Well, can't we convert them into something not-iron?

[all_onis_are_true]

Is there something especially wrong with iron?

[failgoyle]

It's...uh...got a better chance of hurting me than a lot of other stuff out there...

Please explain.

...I'm fae enough that it might be a problem?

Not, like, True Fae Superman-meets-Kryptonite levels, but, you know, it's not like I can do much of anything with iron...not like I can do much of anything with anything, but iron's kind of just a lot worse...

[all_onis_are_true]

[...Okay, well, he's getting the context at least.]

I presume that, ah... "fae" have some sort of innate weakness to iron?

[failgoyle]

Yeah, True Fae hate it. It's the only thing that can really hurt them.

I mean, it's a good idea to have some cold iron at hand in case they come try to take you, but still...

[all_onis_are_true]

Considering steel has yet to enter mass production in this setting, you may be out of luck unless you hire somebody else to build your house.

[failgoyle]

I mean, I'm fine if it's used in the construction, I just...didn't want to be carrying around bags of iron nails on my own.
