Nobu Hates The 8th Day
A collection of short fragments from the life of Nobutoshi Mochizuki - and other assorted factoids. Part of a DnD5e campaign that went absolutely nowhere, unfortunately.
Author's Notes
Remembering how Poms managed to avoid some attacks by climbing, Nobu thinks he should probably train his athletics.. He attempts to investigate where he could train this.
You find someone who can begin your training into improving your climbing skills, she's a Tabaxi named Violet Opal, she's an expert rock climbing champion that has a gym on the southwest section of the city. It'll cost about 200 GP a week and several successful downtimes to gain proficiency in Athletics with her (It will not however grant you a climb speed, but with the proper equipment, it will greatly improve your climbing capabilities).

Nobu laid on his back.. Mostly chilling on his bed. That.. world… Waryn.. It’s hard to believe all of that really happened, but the scar on his chest, the fact Waryn exists for real.. Perhaps he should take this much more seriously. He did get knocked out.. Twice.. Didn’t he.. He shook his head.
He probably wouldn’t be alive if it weren’t for his best friend suddenly having magical healing abilities, and.. He looked at his fist. He never punched before. I mean, the thought had occurred to him, but if you have sharp claws.. And he knew precisely how to strike. The punches hadn’t hurt him. Granted, they also had absolutely no effect on the skeletons either..
Suddenly, Nobu sat up. It would probably be a good idea if he were a bit stronger. A bit more athletic.. Poms survived from jumping the railing, climbing over.. Well, that’s what he thought saw happen. But it is an inspiration for the kitsune. If his little friend survived like that, then perhaps it is something he should train in as well.
Nobu’s investigative skill taught him that.. It really isn’t that hard to find a proper place. So he took the chance. He went to this gym at the southwest end of the city. Admittedly, he felt a bit awkward when he met Violet Opal. The Tabaxi was supposedly a champion in rock climbing. Clearly she was an expert. But he had.. Well.. Never heard of her.
But- she had climbing classes. It was a good call to get better at athletics that way, wasn’t it.. Though the 200 gp cost was a bit steep, Nobu knew that with the right jobs, he’d easily pay for it. Part of him hoped there would be some available.. So the decision was made. He’d come by once a week, and train with a professional.
..But he’d definitely need to get the money first...

Searched for place to train my climbing skills, and found Violet Opal, a Tabaxi who is an expert rock climbing champion. Her classes cost 200 GP a week, but it seems worth it, so I signed up. Will have to make some money though.
