Muffin's Farewell was the emotional departure of Muffin (Jake Marshall) from the Heroes of Eastport during their stay in Marterus. The goliath warrior announced that he was retiring from adventuring to settle in the city with his new love, Kaia. His companions continued towards Greygate without him; Muffin's next undertaking involved considerably more bowls.

The Goodbye
After the confrontation at the Scales of Garten, the party was asked to speak with King Edor Bren about the fight. Before reaching that audience, they encountered Muffin outside, where he delivered a tear-jerking speech about settling down in Marterus and said goodbye to the group. The account does not preserve the speech's wording or identify the precise outdoor location.
Retirement
Muffin remained in Marterus with Kaia. Together they opened The Knotty Carver, a woodworking shop specialising in bowls. The change suited a warrior already noted for his attachment to his food bowl, although the record does not supply a formal business plan [citation needed].
His departure marked a change in the Heroes' travelling membership before the journey through Greygate and the Fen. It was a retirement, not a death or disappearance.
