Picking Up

This icon looks like a hand. Tap it so that it looks "pressed" then tap on your character. You will then attempt to pickup items that are on the same square as your character. If there are items that you may pickup there it will show you a list. Tap each one and choose "pickup" to pick the item up. Once all items are picked up the dialog will automatically close. You can use this to make your henchmen or other underlings pick up items. Simply tap on the icon then tap on the henchman you want to pick something up. If there are no items under them or they cannot carry things, they will not pick anything up.
