Goes off to get the valuables seized (6)
I believe the answer is:
spoils
'goes' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spoils that I've seen before include "Acquisitions" , "Mars - plunder" , "Ruins or indulges excessively" , "pillage" , "Booty" .)
