This is it. you've been given the red shirt, handed the flimsiest looking sword you've ever seen, and pushed through the doorway. at the other side of the room there's the big hero, a raging barbarian with an axe bigger than you are.
what do you do?

And I'm black, too. I see where this is going. Time to make time with the main character's love interest when he's not on screen and avoid all combat. I may just get the girl, or at the very least get laid, before my ignominious death.
be careful not to trip over one of the dismembered bodies of your colegues as you edge around the fight. you probably don't have the HP to survive falling over.
Pretend like I got hit already and am bleeding out. Hopefully there are enough of my colleagues to keep them busy enough to not bother with coup de grace.
Set my phased to overload and use it take out the barbarian and the wall he's next to. Strip off the red shirt and run like hell.
Change sides. Become a villain.
Repent long enough to gain enough experience to be equal to or better than the hero...then turn on him and laugh maniacally.

For a second it looked like the thread title was "Monk Survival Guide," and my answer was, "roll up a new character." Come to think of it, that works just as well for the actual thread.
New motto: "Monk and mook -- not just coincidence that they're only 1 letter apart."
What do you do?
Crap myself...
Then die of embarrassment...
But take solace in the realisation that it was probably the least dishonorable way to die in this engagement.

Search frantically on the barbarian's character sheet for the Leadership feat. "You need mooks, right? RIGHT?!"
I swing wildly, and fight to the death. That's mook tactics 101.
What's the difference between a mook and a minion?

I think mooks have more dark meat.
Hold a Cardboard Exclamation point over my head and tell them I have great rewards if they escort me out of the Dungeon.

Spelling.
You always put your Mook on the back row of the combat formation.
what do you do?
Think of a character name fast, and make sure everyone knows it. Make sure that name is easy to remember yet unique.
Think of a decent backstory, ideally one that will mesh with the long term plans of the barbarian...
Whatever you do, do not let anyone know that you have a wife to go back to. It only makes you a bigger target for quick drama.
Throw down my sword and challenge him to a bare knuckle brawl, no holds barred. Fake a satisfying crunch-induced death and fall backward at his first punch, slink away at the next distraction.

Attempt any of the above suggestions and miserably fail. Quickly realize you have a set place in the world and there's no escaping it. Be finished off by 3rd round of combat, and hear the last words you will ever hear on this earth: "Bah. I really expected more of this encounter. This dungeon is so grindy!"

Have a nice long talk with my agent, that's what I'd do.
Aren't you a Mook?

No, I have more than one hit point, and I'm not wearing a red shirt. Also, my forum title says Minion. :D
