morgynleriAdventures in Middle Earth! *big grin* Obi-Wan would like to understand elves. Elves would like him to speak something intelligible.
So, Obi-Wan meets Tauriel, and deals with spiders, if not in that order:
The tall aliens have made short work of the rest of the spiders, and Obi-Wan disengages his lightsaber as he stands, smiling hopefully when their attention turns to him. It doesn't last long, as one of them draws back a bow, an arrow nocked and aimed at his face. The others move to surround him, a few leaping up to take positions on the branches above him. Not neglecting the idea of vertical, then, and not taking chances with his escape.
The one who'd aimed the first arrow in his direction speaks, the language unfamiliar. It sounds like a question, and Obi-Wan assumes he's being asked what he's doing here, or what his name is. Either one is reasonable, though he really doesn't like having weapons aimed at him that he's not sure he can deflect. At least not enough of them.
"My name is Obi-Wan Kenobi, and I'm afraid I had a little accident with my ship. You wouldn't be able to tell me where the nearest space port is?" He smiles, hoping there is a space port somewhere, and that the aliens speak Basic, or he's going to have more trouble than he likes to think about.
He gets a momentarily blank look before the red-haired alien snaps out orders in what sounds to be a different language than before, another of them lowering their bow and approaching him cautiously. At least they're not trying to kill him, and Obi-Wan clips his lightsaber to his belt before he spreads his arms, showing them he's unarmed and means no harm. Although when the alien tries to reach for his lightsaber, Obi-Wan takes a step backward, dropping one hand to the hilt.
"I can't let you take that." Even if they don't understand his words, Obi-Wan is not going to let them remove his lightsaber.
