This is just not my week for this wiki.

Making a run for it would certainly have improved Kendrick's odds of surviving. He had nothing to gain by trying to pass Guinevere off as Morgana since Hengist seems to have had the wits not to pay him until he received a ransom, at which point Kendrick would presumably get a cut.

It looks like the writers were enraptured by the idea of dressing Gwen up like a noblewoman, with Arthur rescuing her, and didn't dwell on the fact that it was implausible at best for Kendrick to think that trying to fool Hengist was anything short of suicidal. At best, he'd abandon her in the middle of the forest. At worst, he'd kill her.

Hengist also gets stupid points for not taking the time to get at least a vague description of the lady he was having abducted.
