In our club we are still not sure how to play Stone.

Let's say an enemy army shoots at my 4 Medusas and I am lucky enough to roll stone results - does the opposing army have a save roll against the stone results? Or are the saves counted which were rolled during the missile strike? Or does the enemy army not have saves at all?

In Counter and Volley it says quite clear 'only magical saves protect against this damage.' That's much clearer

Okay, another try:

'During a dragon attack or missile avoidance roll, Stone generates missile results'

The thing with the dragon is clear.
The missile avoidance roll is a save roll, right?
In other words I am shooting back while he is shooting me.
How does my opponent save that (if he may/does)?

No, a missile avoidance roll is NOT a save roll. By definition, an Avoidance roll is when you roll for a particular result in order to avoid some effect. So a Save Avoidance roll and a Save roll are NOT the same. A Save roll is a roll for save results in order to decrease the amount of damage taken. A Save Avoidance roll is a roll to avoid an effect, for an example, see Poison. A Missile Avoidance roll is when you have to roll missile results in order to avoid an effect. There are currently no missile avoidance effects. The only Melee Avoidance roll is in response to a Wall of Thorns. There are many Maneuver Avoidance rolls in the current rules.

See page 16 of the rules: "Avoidance Rolls".
