The great fire of....

Meh, for 9000gp you can eliminate the need for storage tanks. I still say a decanter of endless water should be found in most large cities.

Well, we know Meredoth owned such a decanter in ''Ship of Horrors", and I made sure to mention it in his NS-Gaz description. Perhaps, since he's fond of utility-magic items, the old grump could be one of just a few wizards in the setting who know how to make them? Trying to persuade that tetchy ol' misanthrope to sell you one, without getting caught and dissected for your trouble, could qualify as an adventure all its own...

Didn't Vallaki get burned down when the Kargatane left?

I thought it was just the cell's bookstore that got torched, not the whole town. But even if some neighboring buildings went up too, you'd think Barovians would be pretty darn quick to extinguish fires: after all, if their houses burn to the ground, they'd have to (eek!) stay outdoors after sunset.
