Just wondering: would in this case a bucket be an item, or an object? It
rather looks like it would fit as a map object, (as items are unique)
and I don't know how far we could give ownership to map objects (which
are re-used at many places). In the smith case, we would assume the
nearest bucket is his bucket. 

On the other hand, the general idea would perfectly fit with items.

Yeah. "family" fields for the characters, plus friends, etc... ;) Just
kidding. I think we don't need to go that far - we might design stuff
that will just be usefull once, and could be workaround with a bit of
script.
