Scroll of Protection 5e
Scroll, rare
Each scroll of protection works against a specific type of creature. Using an action to read the scroll encloses you in an invisible barrier that extends from you to form a 5-foot-radius, 10-foot-high cylinder. For 5 minutes, this barrier prevents creatures of the specified type from entering or affecting anything within the cylinder.
The cylinder moves with you and remains centered on you. However, if you move in such a way that a creature of the specified type would be inside the cylinder, the effect ends.
A creature can attempt to overcome the barrier by using an action to make a DC 15 Charisma check. On a success, the creature ceases to be affected by the barrier.

Magic Circle is a nifty little spell that works for single adventures; instead of sinking a known spell into it, instead maybe just seek out a Scroll of Protection for close to the same effect!
Scrolls are destroyed post use, even if they aren’t typical spell scrolls.
The type of creature the scroll works against is determined upon creation, not use.
Creatures can repeat this action to get through the barrier multiple times should it wish.
The protection only prevents enemies from moving into the area- abilities and attacks can pass through the barrier if it doesn’t require the creature push physically into the space.
