In regard to "The guard's slash wounds you." vs "His slash wounds you.", you may end up with rather ambigious messages. As a simple example, what happens when a wolf attacks the guard? The word 'his' could refer to either the guard or the wolf, depending on whether the subject is changed during the message or after. If the subject is only changed after a message has been sent then you could end up with something like "A timber wolf bites at his right leg". But if you automatically change the subject during the message you could also end up with something like "A timber wolf lunges at the guard, sinking a timber wolf's fangs into the guard's right leg".
