Arsonist Fae
Rasins:
And I think Bob mentioned that even once he was across the threshold, all the toad demon did was all physical attacks, his acid spit, and physically breaking things.
So, I'd bet the Ebs or other Reds could have done something similar.

Say Murphy angered a summer fae. Without crossing the threshold, could this fae get vengeance by burning Murphy's home to the ground with her in it?
Or the same with Harry, and be like the Ebs and burn his place down? Or is it because the damage couldn't be garunteed to stop at just Harry's place, harm would befall innocent bystandards or their property, and that unjust harm would mean the fae is now in debt to these mortals for his stupid actions, the fae would just wait until Harry is more in the open to take vengeance?
That makes me wonder if Titania fitted the bill for the damage Tiny Gruff did to the train station?

Honestly, I don't see why they couldn't. They're rules lawyers. Harry points out that being unable to lie hasn't done anything to limit their ability to deceive.
I wouldn't put it past someone like the Red Cap, for instance, to rig a trap to a shotgun that kills Harry when he opens a window.
I think the distinction might be down the the nature of the Thing in question. It wouldn't really occur to someone like Cat Sith to burn Harry's apartment down because he's an ambush predator. Nor would the Erlking do something like that, because it's in his nature to hunt, not demolish. Does that make sense to anyone else, or is this just something I'm pulling out of my posterior?

Another thing to consider about the Sidhe is the way they are hardwired. The way they hardwired for balance, and deals ect... Saying that someone might "anger" a Sidhe may not be enough for said Sidhe to just be able to target the person for murder. On the other hand something a mortal may consider innocent, and not a big deal can result in their death. Because of a Sidhe's nature I don't think it's easy to flesh out what they are capable of, and for what reason.
For example: Murphy killed Maeve. It had to be done. Mab caused Murphy to kill Maeve by removing the handcuffs. With all that being said I would not be at all surprised if Mab has a punishment planned for Murphy even if it doesn't make much sense since she had set things in motion for fulfilling that purpose.

Murphy was injured in service to Mab (by way of Harry) during Skin Game, so I think Harry would argue that their account is settled.

You think someone that brought the kind of pain, and suffering to Slate would consider the account settled for the death of her daughter? I don't believe so... I would not be remotely shocked if Mab's idea of settling the account would be to murder Murphy's future child... Or to enslave her child... Or maybe torturing Murphy until she's begging for death, only to punish her for years more to come.
