This scroll can be used to create a "[[boulder fort]]".  Monsters will not attack you if they can't see you through the boulders, and most cannot enter spaces containing boulders, but you can use [[telepathy]] to detect them and attack with missile weapons and spells.  This is a relatively safe way to deal with a horde of dangerous monsters, or one extremely tough monster.

The scroll of earth creates boulders. If the scroll is uncursed, it will create 9 boulders, 8 around you, and one will fall on top of your head. If blessed, 8 boulders around you, and if cursed, only one boulder on your head.

If you're confused, the scroll will create rocks instead of boulders.

The boulder that falls on your head will do 1d20 points of damage, unless you're wearing a hard helmet, in which case it does 2 points of damage.
