Metagaming is when you step outside the game and look at it as a player. It's a way of "cheating the story."
Your goblin character would have no reason to kill Thrall; at least not the same reason why you, as a player, want to kill him. Did your goblin character know all the same stuff you know? Did he think the same thoughts?
Didn't think so.
