27 across - Plunder or steal goods (5 letters) (r*a*e). I can't find any word that fits in here, not just a word to match the clue. R is from "weather"; L is from "leap"; E is from "banneret".
Thanks TheRedDevils, I have just confirmed that the word "reave" is in my dictionary, but it isn't in my thesaurus and I don't remember seeing it in the online thesaurus. At least now I know that "leap" is right too.
