Al talked to him to get info on the cult/witches by taunting him with various things and then getting killed before eventually cheesing it once he had enough info. This seems to indicate Al got owned before the other witches died maybe since it repeated how they were killed and this seemed like news to him

>Guese mentioned
Apparently keeping the cult away from the tower would be important because Guese could probably have possessed Volcanica.
