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

Air Creatures
You find yourself in what appears to be a glass room suspended high in the sky.
The stairs are blocked by a force field.
You realise you have to go through one of the three sky blue doors numbed 1,2 & 3.
What door do you want?

Myth Air
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 two more doors however and both of them have a sign on them saying

Dragon
You grab a Dragon costume.
All of a sudden every other costume disappears.
As there is nothing else to do you put on the costume that you grabbed.
The changes start almost immediately as a mirror appears for you to watch the transformation.
The first thing to happen is your torso bonds to the scales and you can suddenly feel your wings. With a sense of amazement you try them out and hover slightly.
You watch as your chest becomes flat.The next thing is your lower body.
You watch as your groin becomes flat. You wonder why and then you remember. All dragon equipment is internal<span class=female>You wonder why your groin is flat and then you remember that all dragon equipment is internal</span>.
Meanwhile the rest of your body has changed. You have a long tail and your head has changed. You are now a humanoid dragon of approximately human proportions.
First though what type of dragon are you?

Gold Dragon
The glass room suddenly disappears, to be replaced by a thick forest.
You examine your new body, which is covered in gold, inpenetrable scales. They look resistant enough to deflect a sword, arrow or anything else short of modern weaponry.
Your size is around an average human and your fingers end in short, sharp, claws. Your teeth are also sharp, which, combined with your strong jaws, seem capable of ripping meat and snapping bone.
You experimentally breathe a tongue of fire, which feels hot enough to melt metal, though you yourself are immune to it. Overall, it looks as though fighting will not be a problem.
Your wings seem capable of sustaining flight for a few hours, longer if you glide. You estimate that you can travel between two cities in a quarter of a day.
After examining yourself, you note that a mountain range lies on one side and a path leads in the opposite direction.
Which way do you go?

On the mountain
Knowing that dragons usually live in mountains and that you have been teleported here for a reason, you approach the mountain range.
Although the surface of the mountain is bare, you note on approach that there are several cave openings big enough to admit a full-size dragon. You take a guess that at least one should host a true dragon, who can help you find a way out.
Swooping into one of the caves, you cautiously enter, claws at the ready. Suddenly, you see something approach you.
You hold your ground and shout a challenging roar at your assailant, hoping for it to retreat. To your surprise, however, it roars back. You realize that it is...

A guard
"Who, in the name of Dragonlord Vralylth, dares to challenge His Lordship's guard?!"
Oops.
"Forgive my implusiveness, but I had mistaken you for a hostile creature of the wild, and reacted reflexively. I meant no offense," you apologize.
"No offense taken, young one. However, please be cautious, as a challenge is not to be taken lightly," comes the reply. As the speaker steps into the light, you notice that it is another dragon, who is copper-coloured and humanoid, and is wielding a massive halberd.
He continues, "The clan is glad to welcome a fellow dragon, be he traveller or otherwise, for we could use another ally against the Great Evil. But for now, do enter the company of His Lordship, for he will curious as to what a young dragon is doing by himself in this dangerous area. Unless, of course, you have further business to attend to."
Do you accept the offer and enter?

Human threat
Curious about the "danger" referred to by the guard, you accept the offer and the guard leads you further into the cave.
Inside is what looks like a tribe of humanoid dragons, who are of all colours, ages, and, by appearances, occupations. It feels like a mini-city inside the cave, which now appears to have limitless proportions. As you pass by, they all divert part of their attention to regard your passage with interest.
Past all the dragons and their working/living areas is a doorway with a wooden door. Beyond it is what appears to be a crude fashioning of a throne-room, like those found in medieval castles back in your world, except in stone. Sitting on a golden throne is what appears to be the largest dragon you've seen, even in morphic. You wonder at his size in full form.
"Welcome," he booms. "I am Dragonlord Vralylth, last of the Dragonlord of this realm as currently known. I sense you have come on a long journey for a reason, and I wish to know your business around here. Any who come here are either brave or foolish, as this place is fraught with hazards for those of the dragonkind."
You ask, "What danger could there be in this area? It seems deserted enough, with only forests and mountains as far as the eye can see."
He frowns. "I see that you must have come from far away, in order not to have known about the humans who attempt to exterminate all of the other beasts who occupy their land."
"Their society has long held a ideology centred around speciesism, and to this end, their current leader has declared a perpetual state of war against all other creatures. Most of the beasts in this area have been exterminated or have migrated away, and the only lifeforms here are either bloodthirsty humans or us dragons, and we are badly outnumbered by them. It is only a matter of time before they overrun even our mountain stronghold."
"I feel that most of this trouble originates with the change of leadership of the humans. The old king had always left us alone, but with his death, the usurper, who was always a radical, took over the throne. We have tried to get at the usurper many times, but he has almost completely isolated himself within the city. Not to mention we do not know the layout of his castle itself."
Having studied medieval castles in college, you may have a good chance at killing the usurper. However, the dragons may be suspicious of your "human" knowledge.
What do you do?
