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.

Appearances
appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * May appear in the Prospector Saloon as if it were in Vikki and Vance Casino.
 * Even when you get Primm a new sheriff and all the residents leave the Vicky and Vance, taking any of the items inside (even from garbage cans) is considered stealing and will result in negative karma. However, if you talk to Layla when she shows up and convince her to leave, all of the items inside become free for the taking. If at any time during your conversation with Layla you choose to attack and kill her and her cronies, all items within the V&V remain "red" and taking anything will be considered a theft.
