Hmm, here's one:

An evil pandimensional being (the Ringmaster, let's call him) has 
transported the PCs in their sleep to his arena. He's a collector of
unusual beasts for his gladiatorial combats. The players have the option
of going out and hunting down a particular beast and bringing it back
alive (and they'll even be paid handsomely for this), though they will have
to go out in the wet to do this. If they refuse the mission, the Ringmaster
will keep himself entertained by throwing increasingly hard monsters at the
party for them to engage in gladiatorial combat until one of two things
happens:

a) The party stop being such a bunch of bloody wimps and go out in the 
   rain to do a perfectly good "hunter" adventure.

b) The party are all dead.


This way maybe fewer players will whinge about a little water... ;-)
