The characters have found out something significant, solved a mystery, progressed past obstacles, or otherwise feel they've done something worthwhile. They have changed the setting, a bit or a lot, and possibly changed themselves. The players have experienced all this through their characters, which usually involves some degree of real-world psychological stress, but they're now relaxed from that and feel a sense of accomplishment. The GM has been able to orchestrate this, and shares the sense of accomplishment; they may well have new insights into the setting and the future direction of the story.</blockquote>
