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

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

Kangaroo
You notice a furry pouch and stick it to your body.
Suddenly the fur expands and quickly covers your body replacing your clothes.
You feel your new tail stretch out as your legs reshape into the powerful legs of your new form.
You feel your ears go pointed.
You feel your inside turn to liquid and reshape and you are done.

The Dark Mists
The room fades around you and you appear in a camp.
"Welcome newcomer" a male roo says.
"This is the staging camp for expeditions into the mist"
"It is says that great treasures lie in the darkness but great danger as well"
"Our last group came back saying one of it's members had found a dragon costume but she vanished as soon as it was put it on."
"If you want you can get some training and go on one of them yourself"

Traning
You spend time training and after a week you are told that you are ready.
Then you get told that you need to wait 7 days before your next costume.

Leaving Camp
You decide to set off as soon as your training's done. It might take you seven days just to find a costume, for all you know, and you're starting to get bored at the camp.
You've had time to get used to your new body by now. Hopping seems far more natural than walking; you watch the non-roo members of the camp plodding along and wonder how they can stand it. You've learned how to balance on your tail and live on a diet of vegetables. (Why did you ever eat meat? Yuck.) Being a kangaroo seems natural. It's getting hard to remember what it was like to be human.
In their spare time, other people at the camp have taught you about exploring the mists. An otter explained how to navigate through the strange landscape, though you haven't actually tried it yet. A mare gave you advice on foraging. Practically everyone in the camp talks about fighting; it's impossible not to pick up information on that. You're ready to go.
You pack enough supplies for several weeks - who knows how long you'll be out there? Now that you're an herbivore, it should be easy to find food, so you don't pack much of that. You limit your supplies to a small sword and what can fit in a backpack. If you run into something nasty in the mists, you don't want to be too heavily loaded to fight. The things you'll need to get at quickly - a compass, a lamp, pencil and paper, and a small knife in a leather sheath - you put in your pouch. You're glad that you <span class="female">stayed</span> female when you put on the costume, if only for the free pocket. Kangaroos can't really wear pants.
You say goodbye to the friends you've made; they wish you luck, and you set off into the mists.
