Thanks JBDad, yes, those flying things are the things I mean - surely they're dragons? How can you tell you've lost health? DS (well, I was "driving" at least once when this happened) fall into the lava completely from time to time, but we've found no way to get out. Haven't noticed any effects of just running over lava; but this is a whole other world to me...
