** Bob is given a sling, knife, and a quarterstaff. Those are actually perfect tools for his task to deliver a message to a distant kingdom. Swords would get him mistaken as a bandit, and bows as a poacher. A quarterstaff is good enough for defense against bandits, a good assistant on a long hike, and the weaknesses of not interacting well with formation fighting don't matter to a single traveler. The sling has effectively infinite ammo and it assumed shows only an intent for defense against beasts or hunting small game nobility doesn't care about. Everything is low valued enough that he doesn't even look worth robbing.

** Bob is [[ItsRainingMen airdropped]] deep behind enemy lines with a stealth glider to avoid being shot down before arriving at the place where he must be dropped, and he can only carry limited equipment.
