array program not correctly recognizing elements in array

[Neesh]

I am writing a program that is essentially a game where a hero(represented on the grid by an H) needs to navigate through an 8 by 8 array. In the array there are various obstacles (8 ambushes and one enemy hideout) which are randomly placed when the program executes. If the user moves onto one of these places, they lose. If they figure out where the enemy is located they enter c (to call the police) and then indicate which direction the enemy is located. "w" moves up, "a" moves left "x" moves down, and "d" moves left. They cannot move diagonally. the user cannot leave the grid, and they are warned if a trap or the enemy is one square away(diagonals excluded).
So this is my problem. Sometimes when I run the program the message that a trap is near displays on the screen, yet if I move one square up, down, left or right, of the square where the message is dispayed it appears as if there really is not a trap located there and the game does not end. This only happens occasionally and usually in squares located in column 0. I think there may be a problem with either my message function, or the assign function.

Sorry I know its alot of code but any insight would be greatly appreciated!

#include <iostream>
#include <time.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
using namespace std;

void assign(char block[8][8]);		//assigns where the villian is, and where the ambushes are
void displayWorld(int playerRow, int playerCol);	//displays the screen that the user will see with a H as to were the hero is
void message(char block[8][8], int pRow, int pCol);	//checks if the hero is near an ambush or the enemy
void Call(int pRow, int pCol, char block[8][8]);	//checks if the user correctly guesses where the enemy is
