Write a detailed description of a dreary scene outside a wilderness canyon with dwarves, walls, and pikes.

Countless pikes, splattered with rusty stains, are partially buried at the foot of the rough-cut wall that surrounds the outpost. Narrow gaps are cut in the black stone of the valley walls, just large enough to allow the sharpened logs to slide securely into the stone niches, giving the structure added stability. Weather-worn Dwarves patrol the parapets along the interior of the walls, several of them sporadically resting to take a long drag from the curved pipes clenched between their teeth.
