I'm sure he had a similar feeling.
After trying this a few times and not having him come - I finally exited the abbey - so if he's not coming for you - walk outside of the abbey and he'll pop up.
What he did next made me lawl.

What to do
Description
We need more information from the high abbot, and now that we have the visage of one of the raven priests, I think we can get you close to talk with him. Unfortunately, we need to separate him from his bodyguards or you'll never get any information out of him. <The agent leans on her shovel and thinks a moment.> I think I've got it! While in disguise, go to the top of the abbey and ring the bell. That should bring the abbot's bodyguards running and you can then head down to speak with him.

After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Truth Will Out
We have to figure out what's going on here. We need the general's diary! I'm pretty sure that you'll find it on her nightstand upstairs at her house. It's the one next to church, across from the stables and the lumbermill. Once you acquire the diary, take it to the high executor back at Venomspite.
