Immediately after confirming your choices at the end of the customization process, you appear in a small room. You appear naked, in the body that you have selected using the customization process. The room contains a bed (which you are currently lying in), a mirror, a chest, and a note, nailed to the wall. The chest contains all of the items you 'bought' with the process, while your leftover money is in a bag on the table, along with a note. (Those who forgot to 'buy' clothing find cheap-looking poor-fitting Peasant's Outfits, and 1sp less then they would otherwise have.)
The note reads:
Welcome to my tower, bold adventurer! You, along with many others, have decided to help save both of our worlds, and for that, I thank you. My thanks extends to providing you with the teleportation spell, the customization of your physical form, and the provision of a low-interest loan to cover the balance of what you now owe me, being 10000 Gold Pieces, at a fixed interest rate of 10% annually. This is a necessity, to cover the cost of the spell: if too many of you cannot repay, I will eventually find myself too poor to afford the material components needed to cast the spell! As this would surely doom both worlds, you should make repayment a priority, although not so much as to go underequpped. In any event, you should take your purchases and leave this room as soon as possible: I'm using these rooms for new arrivals, and if you linger, I may have to hold people in Limbo for a while! Come downstairs first, where my guides will tell you what you need to know, and possibly direct you to places where you can buy any items you may have forgotten to select.
Signed,
Xiophanes Nadrexian Manadu, Archmage
Barbarians who elected not to know how to read will find the message unreadable, determining that written Common is a runic language that does not exist on Earth. However, they (and only they) will hear a different message, spoken by a mouth appearing within the words.
"Gather your things and leave as soon as you can, so this room can be used by others. Ask someone else what this note says."
