Leilatha's first adventures occurred in the Murkmire Malevolence, when she was contacted by the Golden Vault handler Meera Raheer for a mission that was ultimately called off. The druid joined alongside Matthew the Ascended, Rasmus O'Dranith, Margaret Pearl, and Dee, growing quite close with the team. Leila's hallucinogenic fungi lead to a near-religious experience for Dee, who revealed herself to actually be named Ellenor.
After spending a few weeks killing time by busking and thieving, the group was called to action. They were tasked with returning the Murkmire Stone, secretly an egg containing a vicious creature, to Doctor Cassee Dannel. During a gala at the Cliffsunder Museum of Natural History, they planned to steal the stone by cart, using a Draft Horse named Marx to carry it across town under the guise of "Cliffsunder Party Supplies."
Leila's Beast-speech allowed her to bribe Marx into behaving calmly regardless of their circumstance, and the Horse was crucial in the success of their mission. The heist went awry after Matthew got in a bust-up with Caelas Helefir, and Leila had to knock out rival thieves and avoid death by Living Doll. Thankfully, she helped get the egg to Doctor Cassee Dannel in time to have it trapped in a crystal casing, stopping it from hatching.
