I think I already know the answer.

My Emerald Spire group is having a problem, we had four people playing it since five people appeared to be too many for Emerald Spire's lower levels. However, one player has had life circumstances come up and we are almost to Floor 10 where the level ranges are 8-10.

My interpretation is you can't play floors 10-16 without four players because there is no Pregen a GM could play to make a table legal. Is there any exception to this?

Thanks

Unfortunately you're correct. You can't play any level 8+ material with only 3 players since there aren't any pregens that can be used in that level range. You will need to find more players with PFS characters in the correct level range.

This happened to my group as well.

I started GMing for 5 PCs. Halfway through we lost one, and by the 10th Floor we lost another. We were stuck.

We could have reached out to anyone with a level appropriate PC to "fill in the gap", but they wouldn't have experienced the same memorable moments.

So, I bribed asked my VC if he could run the last 6 Floors in my stead. When he agreed, I grabbed one of my PCs to join the group.

Start to finish the Campaign took over a year, but we got through it.

Maybe try your VC?

'What was the bribe', you ask?:

I have played all of Emerald Spire. If you are willing to play it online I have the table set up from a different group which didn't fire.

That is very kind of you. As the GM, I currently have no character in range to play. But we're looking for some local people to jump in who normally dont really like module play, but need the level boost.

Now all we need is all our scedules to line up...
