Compose a short description of a dark scene outside of a town wall with a chimney.

The stairway pauses more than midway up the wall at a small landing before continuing up to the battlements. Each step has a smooth valley worn from ages of boot traffic and since there is no railing that accompanies the stairway, the valleys are positioned closer to the safety of the wall. Smoke twists from the chimney of a small lean-to below.
