In a room
The sign reads
"Welcome all new travellers.
To continue you must go through a series of doors.
After going through you will pick a costume. You will then become a half- human and half that creature.
After a week(100 mins a hour,20 hrs a day,10 days a week) has passed you may morph and get another costume. To start of with you will only be able to become 40% human to 60% human.
If you put on a costume you will then become that creature, be teleported to it's home town and have to wait a week before being able to morph.
After 50 costumes you may change into one of your other costumes and become 30% to 70% human. When changing costumes you must wait at least an hour before you can change costumes again.
100 different species/gender costumes allows you to gender-morph and become 20% to 80% human
200 different species costumes allows you to combine costumes and become 10% to 90% human
400 different species costumes allows you to return to your world with no more morphing
And 800 different species costumes makes a polymorph and allows you to morph outside of this world.
Also if you have a costume like a centaur then the human part will always be human and is counted towards the human percentage.
Any gender/species transformation magic of yours can only change your gender(if you have at least 100 costumes) and the animal part to a different animal.
When you change into a different costume (that you already have) you may teleport to that species home town but you will have the week penalty where you have no costume changes.
If you die while wearing a costume you will be reborn at the local inn (or appropriate location ). If you have more then 100 costumes you will lose the costume you had when you died and go to an appropriate place for your next costume.
If you fail to make it out in 100 years(100 weeks in a year) one of your possible forms will be chosen and you will be permanently stuck in that form(apart from magic) until you die. Also there will be no possibility of going back to your world.
Also, one final note: should you take a female form and become pregnant, you won't be able to change your gender until the child is born, though the other aspects of your form may change (the child will change to match.) That is all, and good luck!
You realise that you have to do what the sign said to do and go through the doors and grab a costume.
Alternatively you could use the key system to determine the room

You go through the door.
All of a sudden it slams shut and with no handle on this side it appears that you are stuck.

Male Normal Land
You go through the door.
All of a sudden it slams shut and with no handle on this side it appears that you are stuck.
There are five costumes in this room, all of them male, all of them are normal land creatures.

Tiger
You pick the tiger costume ,strip and slip it on.
The first thing to happen is the costume merges with your skin.
You feel your spine stretch into the tail and try moving it around.
You feel your toes and fingers gain claws.
You get a slight wave of dizziness as your head reshapes itself.
You look in the mirror and admire your new handsome male tiger body.

Forest
The room dissolves into nothing and you are hit by a wall of humidity. Blinking you eyes to get them used to the new conditions you find yourself in a forest.
Looking around you find no trace of your former self, the only thing covering you is your fur. Your stomach rumbles telling you you need to eat. From the dryness in your mouth you need to drink first.
Hearing the sound of a waterfall you follow it through the trees to find a pool of water filled by a waterfall. Falling yo your hands you lap from the pool, your new instincts telling you exactly what to do.

Hunt
While you are drinking you smell food. You slip into the water and follow your nose until you see a deer drinking from the pool.
You leap out from under the water and bite down on the neck.
It is not until you are full that you realize how much the tiger instincts have taken over.
As you return to your normal state of mind you see a pack of wolves circling you.

Attack
Roaring your challenge you fall onto all fours letting the instincts take over.
The wolves are good, one distracts you while another goes into attack. You have thrown a few into the pool and they are carried downstream.
Both you and the wolves are panting before one of them asks "Are you here to defeat the boss?"

Boss?
"Who is the boss?" you ask "I only just arrived here from another world."
"You are a costume wearer like him?" the wolf asks.
"How long has he been here anyway, he should only be here for a fortnight? " you ask
"He has been here longer then I have, I have been here at least three winters." the wolf says
"How has he not found a costume to progress?" you ask.
"He sends one of his other minions to collect the costume and they take it." the wolf says.
"Why?" you ask
"He likes it here, he uses the wolves to drive the other tigers away from his tigresses."

Diplomacy
"So did you come here for me?" you ask.
"No, we are trying to find one of the costumes" the head wolf says.
"Can you show me where the costume is? That will remove me from the boss's worries right?" you ask "And you won't need to fight anymore."
The wolf thinks for a moment before responding...

Sure
"Sure, that will take care of both problems. Follow me" the wolf says.
"You know where it is?" you ask.
"Well the boss knows where the costumes are" he says "we just have to get their."
The wolf heads off with you following. Soon you are under a tree, looking up you spot the fabric of a costume hanging from a branch.

Ghost Costume?
"Thank you" you say to the wolves and climb the tree.
Your instincts kick in and you struggle with your claws before reaching the branch.
Reaching out you try to grab a hold of the costume.
Only to find your hand going right through. Loosing your balance you end up falling through a few branches.
"Ah." the wolf says looking down "I thought it only a rumor but it seems like you have to spend some time here before you can pick up the costume."
