unheroically
In craven fashion
In a manner lacking heroism, courage, or noble action.
The word often carries quiet self-deprecation or honest admission: I unheroically hid in the closet during the break-in.
It can also describe mundane responses to situations that might call for bravery: He unheroically called for backup instead of charging in alone.
