You’ve just arrived in a swampy, dim town. As you look around, your gaze is met with shacks and cabins. It smells of rotted wood and wet moss. You duck and step into a tattered tent, illuminated by a series of candles suspended in the air. At the back of the tent, an old hag raises her head, “What brings you to this dingy town? she begins, then pauses to study your face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a cushion, “Tell me your story.”
((How do you respond?))
"Oh!", he gasps, as he hastily approaches the cushion and lets himself fall sitting upon it, "I never expected someone this far away from home to recognize me. Have you, per chance, heard about my people?". He stares, smiling, whilst waiting for an answer, before realizing-"Pardon...I need to articulate. My excitement didn't let me think straight for a moment".
He straightens his posture while clearing his throat. "Ahem...so, I come from somewhere...let's say, about a hundred days walking from here?...If I'm not wrong, that would be more or less where I started my odyssey. I used to live with my parents in a cozy shack by the mountains. We'd go hunting every day, and apparently, that was our speciality...at least theirs, it appears it is not mine though. For every animal killed, one of our precious tools of assassination went down due to my ...yes, incompetence was the right word at the time...so...my dad had nothing better of an idea but to send me on an all-out adventure with only my fists to, in his words, "Man up"...heheh...so...yeah".
He would then gaze up at his surroundings and mention. "Out of all the places I've gone to, this one seems very promising...don't ask me to articulate why. It's a gut feeling, and I know that's something very important to have as a hunter!-"
Jyenne would then look up again, towards the opening of the tent, and, face the old hag again once he stood up. "Excuse me, lady, but...I got the gut feeling...that this is going to be a great day for me in this rotten town." While he ducked to exit the tattered tent. "I need to keep my word. Have a good day!"
His smiling face remained as he made his way towards the rest of the town...

How do you avoid powergaming in roleplay?: By knowing both my character's abilities and limits, I can prevent myself from commiting powergaming. If I know I have been hit on the leg, I WILL have to roleplay both the pain and not being able to do many hefty moves later until recovery.
How does metagaming disrupt fair roleplay?: Since metagaming is the use of external information to have advantage in roleplay, someone doing it could, perhaps, pinpoint the exact location of his enemies and strategize even further how to murder or trap them in some way or another.
