The Wiz gets out of the wagon and moonwalks 10 ft closer. "Heh. You guys are going to love this." he says as he spins rapidly on his heels, three full times, and hurls a massive lightning bolt.
DM: Casting Chromatic Orb at 3rd level for a 28 to Attack, and 18 Lighting Damage.
The ball of lightning plows into the ground and after a short pause you hear a *crump* and the land shark erupts from the ground snapping at the air. It sees something flying towards it which MUST be the cause of its pain.
It charges forward in a spray of earth and rocks moving as if it were a fish in water, and tries to chomp the fairy.

Flying full tilt toward the running family, Ember was taken offguard when the 'landshark' decided to chomp on the flying fae. Practically mid chomp, Ember's flight or fight instinct kicked in and he automatically invoked Wild Shape. (bonus action)
Wild Shape
The power of nature allows you to assume the form of an animal. As a Bonus Action, you shape-shift into a Beast form that you have learned for this feature (see “Known Forms” below). You stay in that form for a number of hours equal to half your Druid level or until you use Wild Shape again, have the Incapacitated condition, or die. You can also leave the form early as a Bonus Action.
Number of Uses. You can use Wild Shape twice. You regain one expended use when you finish a Short Rest, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.
You gain additional uses when you reach certain Druid levels, as shown in the Wild Shape column of the Druid Features table.
Known Forms. You know four Beast forms for this feature, chosen from among Beast stat blocks that have a maximum Challenge Rating of 1/4 and that lack a Fly Speed. Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can replace one of your known forms with another eligible form.
When you reach certain Druid levels, your number of known forms and the maximum Challenge Rating for those forms increases, as shown in the Beast Shapes table. In addition, starting at level 8, you can adopt a form that has a Fly Speed.
When choosing known forms, you may look in the Monster Manual or elsewhere for eligible Beasts if the Dungeon Master permits you to do so.

Rules While Shape-Shifted. While in a form, you retain your personality, memories, and ability to speak, and the following rules apply:
Temporary Hit Points. When you assume a Wild Shape form, you gain a number of Temporary Hit Points equal to your Druid level.
Game Statistics. Your game statistics are replaced by the Beast’s stat block, but you retain your creature type; Hit Points; Hit Point Dice; Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores; class features; languages; and feats. You also retain your skill and saving throw proficiencies and use your Proficiency Bonus for them, in addition to gaining the proficiencies of the creature. If a skill or saving throw modifier in the Beast’s stat block is higher than yours, use the one in the stat block.
No Spellcasting. You can’t cast spells, but shape-shifting doesn’t break your Concentration or otherwise interfere with a spell you’ve already cast.
Objects. Your ability to handle objects is determined by the form’s limbs rather than your own. In addition, you choose whether your equipment falls in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides whether it’s practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment based on the creature’s size and shape. Your equipment doesn’t change size or shape to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can’t wear must either fall to the ground or merge with the form. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect while you’re in that form.
The 'landshark' suddenly has a fiery black bear reacting to being attacked.
The Wiz hears the call for an encore and who is he to deny his fans?! He spins again, twice this time, and hurls another lightning bolt that is not quite as large as it was before, but is still pretty impressive in that it continues wreaking havoc.
OOC: Chromatic Orb cast at 2nd level. 27+4 for 31 to Attack and 21 Lightning Damage. I also rolled doubles, so I can bounce it. If there is a tree or other object within 30ft of the street shark, it will bounce to that. Attack is 19, with 10 Lighting Damage. I rolled doubles again, so 27 to Attack on something that is not the people or their things we are trying to rescue, and 17 Lightning Damage. If there are no suitably amusing targets for those two subsequent attacks, The Wiz will not allow the bouncing. (This is really a spell for more than one target but lol).
*if I blast the shark away from Grey, would he travel with it or be removed from the grapple?*

The Wiz walks toward the street shark, a funereal look about him, hands clasped. He raises his hands toward the heavens, opening them wide. The Wiz then makes sorcerous utterances and claps his hands together, creating the sound of a massive gong.
OOC: Toll the Dead, Wisdom Save of 17 or 13 Necrotic Damage. With Potent Cantrip, if the Save is successful, they will still take 6 Necrotic Damage.
About 100 feet away. Unless you moved closer.
