Origin[]
Tom Tobin (1823 – 1904) was an American adventurer, tracker, trapper, US Army scout, and occasional bounty hunter. Tobin explored much of southern Colorado, including the Pueblo area. He associated with men such as Kit Carson and "Wild Bill" Hickok. Tobin was one of only two men to escape alive from the siege and fire of Turley's Mill during the Taos Revolt. In later years he was sent by the Army to track down and kill the notorious Felipe Espinosa and his brother; Tobin returned to Ft. Garland with their heads in a sack.
Effects[]
The sack will decapitate any criminal in the area. When thrown, it will zoom through the air until it locates its target to deliver “justice”. When not in use, the user will experience an intense burning sensation in their skin, similar to the fire Tobin escaped during the revolt.
