Generate for me a description of a spooky scene outside of a medieval castle with a rope ladder, windlass, and mules.

A door in the town walls reveals a rope ladder dangling over the edge of the cliff, leading down to the river bank far below. In times of attack, the ladder can be drawn up to repel invaders, or the rope may simply be cut, ensuring the town's security. Two mules hitched to a windlass drive a counter-weighted wooden platform used to haul packages up from the docks.
