From what I understand, you can team up to clean out a hillock, but
only the monster that kills the final knolltir gets the treasure. Is
this correct ?

Next question: Where are they ? After going 12 turns mostly eastward, I
have
not seen even one. I haven't found any funnel snakes either, which is
what I
miss to make a spyglass.

I am currently on 323,338 in net coordinates, so if anybody can tell me
where I can find either *hillocks* of *funnelsnakes* nearby, I will be
very
much obliged.
