;Kaladin
Kaladin and Bridge Four are on another bridgerun. He’s nervous because this time he wants to try distracting the Parshendi archers with his self-made Parshendi armor and shield. On the way to the battlefield a soldier who doesn’t want to wait for the army’s water crews tries to force his way to Bridge Four’s water skin. Because Kaladin’s armor is hidden with the water Bridge Four persuades the soldier to back down.

Because Kaladin’s armor is hidden with the water Bridge Four persuades the soldier to back down. On the final approach Kaladin manages to draw the full attention of the Parshendi archers by wearing Parshendi armor and shield. He uses Stormlight to improve his speed, heal his wounds, and draw arrows to his shield. Sadeas rides up and is forced to promote Matal becuase "his" idea of distracting the Parshendi worked. Kaladin himself suffers from shock after using so much Stormlight. As always, the members of Bridge Four look for wounded from other bridge crews and care for them. Suddenly Lopen calls out, as he spots a group of Parshendi archers coming back to the chasm and aiming at Bridge Four. While the men try to escape out of range they are surprised to see Dalinar dashing into the Parshendi force and striking them down. When done, Dalinar raises his blade in a salute at Bridge Four.

Bridge Four is embarrassed and suggest to expand this idea. Even Sadeas is surprised and promotes Matal who takes responsibility for this maneuver. While Sadeas’ forces cross the bridges and start fighting, Dalinar follow.
