===Bridge Four===
 
In 1173, Dabbid joined Bridge Four, [[Kaladin]]'s bridgecrew. The crew was expected to charge the [[Parshendi]] line unarmored to draw their fire and push their bridge across the chasm to provide a path for Sadeas' army. On one run, Dabbid was nearlyall but trampled by a horse from his own side, causing him to fall to the ground, dazed and with a broken arm. While Dabbid expected to die on the battlefield, Kaladin and [[Rock]] dragged him to safety. After treating those with more serious wounds, Kaladin set Dabbid's arm with somea splint made of Parshendi arrows and hisDabbid's shirt.{{book ref|sa1|17}}
 
Dabbid remained in a state of shock for weekslong after the battle, jumping at sounds, but otherwise unresponsive. Sadeas refused to pay or feed any bridgeman that was unable to go on runs, so Dabbid survived off of food Bridge Four was able to buy by selling [[knobweed]] sap they secretly gathered while on stonecollecting dutystones.{{book ref|sa1|21}}{{book ref|sa1|27}} EventuallyDabbid’s arm eventually healed, Dabbidand he was able to walk and followedfollow others around, althoughbut he still diddidn’t nottalk; speakKaladin andworried continuedthat tohe starewould offnever intorecover nothingfrom his battle shock.

Bridge Four was later sentenced to regularly scavenge the chasms as punishment for having a high survival rate. Kaladin used this as an opportunity to secretly train the bridgemen to fight so they could escape Sadeas' warcamp. While the others were practicing, Dabbid, Rock, Lopen, and [[Shen]], who could not fight for various reasons, continued to recover valuables in order to meet their quota and avoid suspicion. [[Syl]] was able to fly ahead and quickly lead them to corpses that had not been scavenged so the four men could do the work usually done by a whole crew.{{book ref|sa1|49}} Dabbid and Lopen covertly retrieved large amounts of money and Parshendi carapace armor that Kaladin secured to the underside of one of the permanent bridges. Bridge Four was able to use the armor to enrage the Parshendi and draw their fire, reducing the bridgecrew's mortality rate even further.{{book ref|sa1|62}}
 
On Dabbid's final bridgerun, Sadeas abandoned [[Dalinar]]'s army mid battle and left them to die. While Bridge Four had the opportunity to escape, they instead decided to help the Kholin army retreat. After Kaladin used a large amount of [[stormlight]] to protect his men from a volley of arrows and went into shock, Dabbid joined the rest of the bridgecrew to complete the approach.{{book ref|sa1|67}} Bridge Four was able to rescue Dalinar and in return, Dalinar bought their freedom by giving Sadeas his [[shardblade]].{{book ref|sa1|69}}
 
<!--During [[Kaladin]]’s first run as bridgeleader, he found Dabbid curled up with his arm twisted at an awkward angle. Kaladin charged to reach him, but Dabbid didn’t even notice him when Kaladin arrived. Dabbid was in shock, his eyes dazed. Kaladin dragged Dabbid to the edge, trying to pick him up, but his muscles failing him. [[Rock]] actually came and helped Kaladin carry Dabbid to the safety of the hollow. After trying to save [[Gadol]] and treating [[Leyten]] and [[Hobber]]’s injuries, Kaladin set Dabbid’s arm using some arrows and Dabbid’s own shirt.{{book ref|sa1|17}}
