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.”
Morgrim took a deep breath, the weight of his history settling on his broad shoulders. "My roots delve into the depths of Khazad Kazak,"
he began, his voice a low rumble echoing within the confines of the tent. "Our hands are calloused from the forge, our minds etched with the runes of the arcane."
He pauses for a moment, looking onwards to the old hag, he continues; "Our roots run deep, intertwined with both mountain dwarf and dark elf blood. Aye, the melding of fire and shadow within our veins."
Morgrim's eyes flickered with a subdued intensity as he recounted the ancient tales from his younger days, "In those times, the mountains echoed with the spirited laughter of fellow wanderers, and the thrill of uncharted realms fueled our adventurous spirits," he mused.
Morgrim leaned back, the tent's shadows casting intriguing patterns on his face. "That's me tale, old one. A dark dwarf with the blood of both mountain and shadow, searching for truths and wielding the fire within." He awaited the hag's response, the air thick with anticipation.

How do you avoid powergaming in roleplay?: You can avoid power gaming by emoting in an active manner and descripting the current action of your character and how he approaches that, for instance;
*Li places his hand on the sheath of his sword, moving his hand up towards the grip.*
<Other character's roleplay>
*He wraps his fingers around the grip, lifting it out of it's sheath.*
<Other character's roleplay>
*Li lifts the sword upwards, pointing the tip of the blade towards the man in front of him."
This explains the action that is taking place, allowing the other player to respond to each action individually and not forcing the action upon the other character without giving any chances of rebuttal.
The intention of the powergaming rule is to ensure it stays fair, keeps the roleplay at a high standard and allows for situations which all parties can involve themselves.

How does metagaming disrupt fair roleplay?: Metagaming ruin roleplay by influencing the actions and thoughts of another person outside of his character. Even subconsciously, having been subjected to a small mistake of metagaming, you might unintentionally or intentionally adjust your roleplay or gameplay to avoid certain situations or take advantage of them to reach the outcome you would want OOCly.
It ruins roleplay and makes it unfun for all parties involved, and most of the time, at the cost of some extensive planning and RP from others.
