Two turns of no paradox.
Two turns of deja vu. Wedding ring of solidified fire manifests. (Resolve + Composure or repeat action)
Four turns until the gate opens for the Red Duke. Wedding dress manifests. Changelings begin to panic.
The Red Duke arrives and Tabitha's wedding ring explodes into fire, which engulfs her. The spell fails and the humans in the club unfreeze.
Redtusk, Dame Grace, Jones, and Barry Hops stand to fight with Richard, the other Changelings flee with the humans.

The Red Duke is mounted on a ruddy stallion with dead eyes, dressed in rusted armor and wielding a rusted sword in one hand and a barbed flail in the other.
Metal in the club rusts, vines grow over things with white flowers, smell of charnel house, bones and rusted, broken weapons and armor, bones.
Ravens with bloody beaks and claws, hounds with blood-stained muzzles, flies buzzing.
