NYT Mini Crossword Friday November 1st

This was mostly pretty easy, though I didn’t know 1-Across or its corresponding 5-Down and had to fill those in as I went. I made a very silly mistake and typed out SOULS instead of SOLES (it’s my Dark Souls habit) but sorted that in the end. This one took me 1:43.
