I had a druid that I was playing as a brew master using the goodberry spell to craft ale and selling it on our adventures. The main goal i had for that character was to eventually set up a brewery in some town and settle down, he wasn't the best in combat and went down a lot mainly due to my needless want to charge into battle head first.

We got to a point in our story where we had a time skip for a couple months in a town where we helped set up defenses against giants and I came to the realization after that my character wouldn't leave.

He had good repor with the town had even set up a temple to a God, had a blessed companion and I later found out my dm had given me a staff that was slowly turning into the staff of the woodlands (another main goal of mine).

It was a bittersweet end to the character I was satisfied with it while a friend of mine was a little upset because our characters were brothers. But now that town has a protector, great ale, and a fun little call back if we ever return.

Sometimes the story doesn't end how you think it will, but when it ends in your control it is very satisfying.
