I need a good riddle, and how do you handle initiative with large groups?

[ender_wiggin]

Driftwood? I got the impression it was something on fire.

I knew it was wooden though...

Driftwood

Close, but not quite.

The mast of a ship (crows nest, flowing white sails, stretching "between the sea and sky").

An oil lamp?

Yep. Most people flub that one because they've never seen an oil lamp. Ah, technological progress.

 

[TemplarSaint]

A point?
Although the first line is a little iffy, since technically that would be "points" of light, plural, and the rest are singular.

Correct, Stormrunner. And thanks for the critique of the first line. I'll make a point of watching for such errors in the future.

Ah. That part threw me off - I envisioned a smoke column.
