Layla (Fallout: New Vegas)

 is an AWOL soldier from the New California Republic during 2281.

Background
At some point during the game, upon a return visit to Vikki and Vance Casino, the Courier encounters Layla. She is the leader of a group of four deserters from the New California Republic. She attempts to extort 100 caps from the Courier, but can be negotiated down to 50 caps or convinced to simply leave and find a better hiding place from both Caesar's Legion and the New California Republic. A speech check can be attempted during one portion of the conversation, it requires Speech 30.

They carry no unique items, and can be convinced to leave (getting experience for the speech check) and then killing them as they flee for no gain or loss of karma. It's unknown if they can be turned in to the NCR if allowed to stay, or following this encounter.

Appearances
appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Glitches
After having a positive (and high) reputation with the New California Republic I encountered and killed Layla and Thugs after completing the Speech 30 check and clicking the attack dialogue option. Following this all NCR have been hostile but my reputation unchanged. For PC
