If anyone still has this or remembers I'm stuck on 16ac. Shake with unease, ultimately retreating untrained for combat. (4,3). I have ?a?e war. War being raw retreating but wage or make? Can't parse the first bit.

shake = WAG
uneasE ultimately = E

Got it! Wag + e. Why is it that often as soon as one asks for help, the penny drops?

Thanks anyway dagnabit, our posts crossed.

happy to have provided comfirmation
