Here are Lets plays from the alpha: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Playthrough+of+Torgar%27s+Quest+alpha

packed my lunch, ready to go !

This is ironic; I played for years on a Neverwinter Nights persistent world role-playing server as a Dwarven cleric/fighter named Torgar Kuldrorn. A friend did point out that there was a dwarf character from a Forgotten Realms novel named Torgar Hammerstriker, which I had actually read and which may, years later, have provided the name. I just have to ask since it's a funny coincidence. Cheers!...

Doesnt matter much, but the xp numbers are out of the box

I won! Normal might be a bit too easy if you've played roguelikes for a while
