Bluff in general, no.  Skill Focus: Trolling, yes.

Keltham turns to address the group; Paxti and Pela have been brought here too, now, and have been standing back and staying quiet and with a vague permanently slightly cheerful expression which, it is only now occurring to Keltham, must have been concealing nearly total bewilderment, unless somebody briefed them while he and Asmodia were out, which somebody hopefully remembered to do... anyways.

"So, the announcement I was planning to make before we all got distracted."

"Bad news first, four of you have already been notified that the rate at which you're absorbing Law was, in my judgment, not sufficient to keep up with the speed at which I intend Project Lawful to go.  You remain the brilliant high-Intelligence wizards who were considered good candidates for this operation in the first place, but that doesn't correlate perfectly with aptitude for Law, either here or in Civilization.  All of you took the risk that it might not work out, when you came here, and some of you won that gamble and some of you lost it."

"Some of those leaving the main Project are currently planning to stay in this fortress and work on some new project - thereby among other things allowing those who stay on Project Lawful to have some people in their cohort they can hang out with, who are not quite as close to the center of all the craziness.  Others of those departing say they may explore other possibilities, but are considering that one as well."

"I don't know how people express gratitude here for having meta-successfully completed the hard work of trying at something you're not sure you can do, and failing and giving up when the time comes - as one must be able to promise to yourself you will do, says a proverb out of dath ilan, if you're going to dare to try things like that in the first place.  This attempt, in particular, is going to have more of an impact on their lives than most such, and now it's up to everyone remaining to produce results which justify the risk they took and realized.  In Civilization there's rituals for this, but they're not single-person rituals and I don't want to pause to explain and it should be your own way anyhow - so, however people in Cheliax say thank you as a group and not just individuals - may the rest of all please thank Jacme, Pela, Paxti, and Yaisa now."
