Kaladin witnesses the first joint plateau assault of Sadeas and Dalinar. The fight goes so quickly and so well, that Bridge Four is sent down into the chasms right after returning from the run. They find a dead lighteyed officer who had an emerald broam (worth two-hundred days of a bridgeman's pay), in addition to a pouch of lesser spheres on his person when he died. Kaladin hatches a plan to sneak the pouch out of the chasms without surrenduring it, but it hinges on the ability of someone to tie the pouch to an arrow, and then shoot the arrow at the underside of a permanent bridge to await their pickup later. As nobody else has the necessary profficiency with a bow, Rock finally admits that he can make the shot, and nails it perfectly, all the while insisting that he may shoot bridges with it, but that he will never use a bow in battle.
