Bronx grabs the skull and whacks it against the ground for a good five minutes, his disappointment tangible at being betrayed by none other than Topher, with whom he had such a bond.
Zinn pats Bronx on the back gently as he sees him staring forlornly into the hollowed eyes of the skull.
”Best get some rest big fella, I’m sure this place has more surprises in store for us” with that he slowly walks back over to his bedroll and lies back down.

The group manages to rest for a full 54 minutes before the skull begins rattling and sparking again. It rises into the air with a hollow cackle as everyone jumps to their feet, drawing their weapons again...

"Oh come on, really?"
Shift climbs back to his feet, keeping his distance, whipping out at the Floating Skull with his arm as it transforms into a vine-like thorny tentacle.
"Bronx, when we put it back to sleep, we are going to have to try burying that skull!"
Action: Cast Thorn Whip at the Floating Skull: Attack: 8 - Damage: 7 magical piercing damage.
All three of them strike true in an almost practiced fashion as they battle the lightning skull a third time. It whirls and bobs to no avail but does not yet fall dormant to the ground.

Zinnlets out a loud screech as he narrowly dodges the lightning attack from the skull. He steadies his stance, takes a deep breath and summons more fire into his hands, and viciously tosses another fire bolt at the creature.
Whispering a magic word to his pearl of power to restore a second level spell slot, Bronx snuffles angrily and carefully starts moving back towards the bathrooms where we killed the last gnothic. With a certain ginger solemnity, he wedges the metallic skull in and among the pipes of the plumbing fixtures. He recites a small prayer from memory for battles well fought before giving it one last tug and heading back to the group for (finally maybe hopefully) a short rest.
After most of an hour, the party is startled by the cackling of the skull yet again. They grab their weapons but the skull does not emerge from the washroom. There is a lot of violent sounds however, as it fights in its makeshift restraints behind the (now) closed door of the washroom. The group are able to finish their rest but shortly after, the clanking of broken pipes and thudding of metal against wood resounds from the nearby room...
...before the skull passes straight through the door and charges toward the party! Everyone leaps into action to fight yet again, the skull zipping silently around, lightning flashing as it circles the group. And then it charges right at Bronx, who swings, his attack passing directly through the skull before the skull passes directly through Bronx. Then everyone realizes the banging of metal on wood is still resounding from the washroom...

Continuing the short rest or....?
Probably. The arguments why people wanted it still stand

Bronx attempts to grab the skull with both hands and tries to pull it apart. What kind of check would you like?
uh...Athletics(30) check. It is a of bone that is coated in an unknown metal.
darn.
He'll take a swing at it, then.
Attack: 7 Damage: 10

Kaltent sighs as he also climbs back to his feet, stabbing at the skull with his rapier.
Booming Blade: Attack: 16 Damage: 9 + 1 thunder + 6 (sneak attack). Plus 10 thunder damage if he moves before my next turn.

(Zinn is up!)
Zinn grumbles with frustration as he summons another firebolt to hurl at the floating skull, a familiar ritual to all of them by now.

Zinn misses with his fire and the cackling skull blasts its lightning rays at (1, 6) Zinn and Krennic.
Lightning Ray Attack against Zinn: 21 Damage: 9
Lightning Ray Attack against Krennic: 6 Damage: 13
(Everyone is up in any order.)
Zinn lets out a loud screech as he narrowly dodges the lightning attack from the skull. He steadies his stance, takes a deep breath and summons more fire into his hands, and viciously tosses another fire bolt at the creature.

And the skull spins away and clatters to the ground, dormant once more.
(Combat has ended...again.)
Krennic growls, "Take care of that thing. It almost injured me that time."
