In one of the next bridge runs, [[Dunny]] was killed. Frustrated, Kaladin began rescuing members from other bridge crews, commanding his men to carry them back to the barracks despite barely having enough resources to care for his own men. Kaladin’s actions coupled with the fact that the arrows seemed to dodge him when he ran point further raised [[Teft]]’s suspicions about the bridgeleader being a [[Knight Radiant]].{{book ref|sa1|53}} During chasm duty a week after Dunny’s passing, [[Bridge Four]] found slightly more than an emerald broam’s worth of money, including an actual emerald broam. With the money, they realized they could not only feed and care for the wounded bridgemen, but they could also advance their escape plan. Kaladin decided to turn over the emerald broam—an amount of money that no bridgeman could ever safely spend—but kept the rest. [[Rock]], though an avowed pacifist, took up a bow and attached the pouch to the underside of one of the permanent bridges using an arrow. [[Lopen]] covertly retrieved the money during their next bridge runs and turned the money over to Kaladin.{{book ref|sa1|55}}{{book ref|sa1|57}}
====Discovery of Surgebinding powers====
In one of the next runs, [[Bridge Four]] dropped to just twenty-six members when both [[Maps]] and [[Arik]] died. Kaladin struggled to deal with their deaths, worried that soon he’d be the only one left. The rest of Bridge Four also appeared anxious as they fell in with their bridgeleader. Returning to camp, Kaladin dismissed the men, who in turn gave him a salute that [[Teft]] taught them. Teft lingered, allowing the bridgeleader to look at his arm. Under the ruse, Teft punched Kaladin, forcing him to unconsciously use his powers to defend himself. Kaladin demanded to know what Teft was doing, who just replied that he was testing something. Before either man could discuss it further, [[Lopen]] pointed out that Kaladin was glowing. Grabbing Teft, Kaladin demanded to know what he’d done to him. Teft denied doing anything, pointing out that Kaladin had been feeding off [[Stormlight]] since he’d been sick. Seeing [[Syl]] out of the corner of his eye, Kaladin confronted the spren about his powers. Realizing they come from the [[Knights Radiant]], Kaladin grew scared and wanted to be rid of them. Syl questioned why he’d want to be rid of something of the [[Windrunners]]. Kaladin wondered if he was cursed, which caused Syl to run away. When Lopen and Teft found him, Kaladin fled, overwhelmed at his new discovery.{{book ref|sa1|57}}
That night, Kaladin came across [[Hoid]], who told him the story of [[Derethil]] and the ''[[Wandersail]]'', a story that Kaladin interpreted as one about taking responsibility. Before Hoid left, he gave Kaladin a [[Trailman's flute]] and charged him with looking after his apprentice, [[Sigzil]], who he now graduated to a full [[Worldsinger]]. [[Syl]], who was present for the story, returned to Kaladin and explained she was behind what was happening to him. Syl offered to cut off their bond, but it would leave them both crippled. However, Kaladin decided to accept the responsibility that [[Surgebinding]] represented and use the power to help others.{{book ref|sa1|57}}
