==== Battle of the Tower ====
In one of the next bridge runs, [[Dunny]] dies. Frustrated, Kaladin starts rescuing members of the other bridge crews and commands his men to carry them back to the barracks, even though he barely has enough resources for his own men. His actions cause Teft's suspicions about Kaladin being a Knight Radiant to grow stronger.{{book ref|twok|53}}
One week later, Bridge Four finds slightly more than two [[spheres|emerald broam]]'s worth of money, including an actual emerald broam. With this money, Bridge Four can feed the wounded bridgemen they have been caring for and advance their escape plan. Kaladin decides to turn over the emerald broam—an amount of money that no bridgeman could ever safely spend without—but keep the rest. Rock, an avowed pacifist, takes up a bow and attaches the pouch to the underside of one of the permanent bridges using an arrow.{{book ref|twok|55}}
He went back to Teft and they started practicing how to use Surgebinding consciously. Teft also taught Kaladin about the [[Immortal Words]]. They ran into Brightness Hashal and her husband, Hashal informed them that Bridge Four would be on bridge duty every day from then on while doing chasm duty at nights. While doing chasm duty, Kaladin found a Parshendi corpse and cut his carapace armor. He used Full Lashing and tied the armor to the permanent bridge they had used before.{{book ref|twok|59}} The next chasm run, Kaladin wore the armor and ran ahead of the bridge crews wearing the Parshendi armor. Parshendi were angry because Kaladin had disturbed the corpse of one of their kind and focused all their archers on Kaladin. He managed to dodge them with his abilities and bridge crews managed to set their bridges without casualty. Others volunteered to run with Kaladin and they decided that five men should run before the bridge crews every time. While they were resting, a group of Parshendi soldiers ambushed Bridge Four but [[Dalinar Kholin]] came to their rescue.{{book ref|twok|62}} Kaladin told [[Leyten]] to make a set of armor for every man in Bridge Four, not just those running in front.{{book ref|twok|63}}▼
Lopen covertly retrieves the money during one of the next bridge runs and turns the money over to Kaladin. During the run, Teft's suspicions about Kaladin come to a head, and he tricks Kaladin into unconsciously using his powers. Kaladin, now realizing that his powers are of the Knights Radiant, is scared and wants to be rid of them. He confronts Syl, and during the argument, Syl grows angry and runs away.{{book ref|twok|57}}
Later that evening, Kaladin comes across [[Hoid]], who tells him the story of [[Derethil]] and the ''[[Wandersail]]'', a story that Kaladin interprets as one about taking responsibility. Before Hoid leaves, he gives Kaladin a [[Trailman's flute]] and tells him to look after his apprentice Sigzil, leaving Kaladin to inform Sigzil that he is now a full [[Worldsinger]]. Syl, who was present for the story, returns to Kaladin and explains what she remembers and knows about Kaladin's powers. Syl offers to cut off their bond, leaving them both crippled, but Kaladin finally decides to take on the responsibility that Surgebinding represents and use the power to help others.{{book ref|twok|57}}

In the Battle of the Tower, Sadeas abandoned Dalinar and his army at the Tower Plateau, escaping with all of his bridge crews.{{book ref|twok|66}} Kaladin told Lamaril that they would follow behind the army with their own bridge, claiming they were too tired to keep pace. Kaladin believed they could fool the army into thinking they were dead by falling further and further behind. However, when he and Bridge Four saw Dalinar's army surrounded by the overwhelming numbers of Parshendi, they decided they couldn't abandon them all to die alone.
