What do you think "unscathed" means?
Please explain why you think what you do. In this case, "unscathed" is an adjective, so the word(s) you use to explain "unscathed" must be descriptive adjectives, as well.
I think it means fine, well, or OK. I think that because if you take out unscathed and with one of the other words like the ones I have it would sound fine.
I think it means fast and rough.
