I have just tried to find the definition of "cleft stick" through a google 
search. Bob's definition seems only to be used by computer folk. Strange, it 
seemed to be a way of indicating that the corrior was a messager and was not to 
be attacked (warrior society). The more common "in a cleft stick" means caught 
between two bad choices.

So I have a feeling that the author's list of gear included a lot of bad choices 
(cleft sticks) rather than message sticks.

Very Douglas Adams.

What's a cleft stick?

messengers used to carry their messages wedged in a stick which was
partially split for the purpose.
